PictureBox help URGENT PLEASE

[wesleychin]

Hi Guys,

I need to hand in a project tomorrow morning and its almost 6pm here so I need help as soon as possible.

I am trying to get the picture images from the Resource folder because I imported them to the Resource folder but cannot seem to retrieve them.

My code looks like this to retrieve them:

try
            {
                System.Reflection.Assembly thisExe;
                thisExe = System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly();
                System.IO.Stream file = thisExe.GetManifestResourceStream(c.Image);
                pic.Image = Image.FromStream(file);

            }
            catch (Exception exc)
            {
                MessageBox.Show(exc.Message);
            }

Is that correct or how else can I get them from there? I need to put them in a Picture Box.

I get the following exception when trying to retrieve them from the Resource folder:

"Value of 'null' is not valid for 'stream'"

Any help please, its really urgent.

Thanks
Wesley

Please stop using the word urgent, it is probably just your own fault...
But as I in a very good mood today, I will give you a tip. As a return I expect from you that if you have any problem in the future, it is not an URGENT one. Deal?
Try : myImage = Properties.Resources.ImageName;

Sorry about that, just had a really bad couple of days with this project so I am a bit frustrated, wont happen again I promise.

Do I delete everything and just put what you put of do I insert it somewhere in between?

Thanks

I think there is going to be a problem because I am trying to not only select one picture to put into the picture box, it needs to be quite a few that will be displayed randomly. Added the whole method so you can see more clearly:

// Adding a new card to the table
        private void NewCardOnTable(bool player, card c)
        {
            PictureBox pic = new PictureBox();
            try
            {
                System.Reflection.Assembly thisExe;
                thisExe = System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly();
                System.IO.Stream file = thisExe.GetManifestResourceStream(c.Image);
                pic.Image = Image.FromStream(file);

            }
            catch (Exception exc)
            {
                MessageBox.Show(exc.Message);
            }


            if (player)
            {
                // Dealing to the dealer
                pic.Width = 104;
                pic.Height = 135;
                pic.Top = 364;
                pic.Left = 328 + (110 * totalCardsOnDealersSide++);
            }
            else
            {
                // Dealing to the player
                pic.Width = 104;
                pic.Height = 135;
                pic.Top = 364;
                pic.Left = 328 + (110 * totalCardsOnPlayersSide++);

            }

            pic.SizeMode = PictureBoxSizeMode.StretchImage;
            // Adding the picture to the picture boc.
            Controls.Add(pic);

            if (!thatsTheHoleCard)
                pictureBoxes.Add(pic);
            else
            {
                holeCardBox = pic;
                thatsTheHoleCard = false;
            }
        }

It needs to just display 4 cards, 2 for the dealer and 2 for the player.
Its for a blackjack game and in the Resources folder, there are 52 images but only need to select 4 random ones.

Yes just delete Lines 6 to 9 and change line 10 in:
pic.Image = Properties.Resources.ImageName;
ImageName being the name of the Resource of your pict in the resource file of your project.
