Change image in PictureBox control

[Sonic42]

Hi-

How can I change the content of the PictureBox control based on user entry? I'm assuming it would be similar to this:

If (TextBox1.Text = "Test") Then
     Picturebox1.Picture= (testpic.jpg)
End If

Yes it would be like it, on the basis of the user name who logged in you can change the picture image accordingly.
Also you can set the user name as session variable to the user who logged in and this value can checked at any page on the application.

That helps...kinda.

How can I load an image from my resource list? Here is a better example:

If (ComboBox1.Text = Sky) Then
     Picturebox1.Picture = sky.jpg
End if

Use Image class.

PictureBox1.Image= Image.FromFile("c:\folder\file.gif")

Use Image class.

PictureBox1.Image= Image.FromFile("c:\folder\file.gif")

Perfect, thanks.

[Sonic42]

Use Image class.

PictureBox1.Image= Image.FromFile("c:\folder\file.gif")

OK, your idea worked, but how can load an image from my imported resources list? With Image.FromFile, it requires me to enter a file route. I'm using a ComboBox and I want the user to select a image from a list I made.

Does that make sense?

Yes sir.

>but how can load an image from my imported resources list?

PictureBox1.Image= My.Resources.your_resource_key

PictureBox1.Image= My.Resources.your_resource_key

Thanks, please bare with me for a few more questions :$

A) When I publish the application, does it automatically build the image it into the application, so the applictaion can be used on other computers?

B) How can I find the resource key? Is it the same as the Name property of the resource?

Sorry, I'm just learning to tie my shoes in the developing world. :)

A & B

You could try loading the image from the application's start-up path like this:

PictureBox1.Load(Application.StartupPath + "\img.jpg")

This would be my approach.

on Form1 you have to save the picture that you choose in the global(public) variable.
and then on Form2 you just call it.
