If you have the file name of an image, and want to display that image in a picturebox, your documentation for the picturebox control should give you the answer fairly easily.

(I'd tell you, but I'm an old VB6 developer.)

Have you tried with the LOAD method??

[CODE=vb]picturebox.load ("c:\mypic.jpg" )[/CODE]

that one works for vb2005 xpress ed.

Hi,

Try This in Form_Load event:

Me.BackgroundIm age = System.Drawing. Image.FromFile( "C:\MyPict1.bmp ")
