How do i get an image to appear in a picture box using the open file dialog??

[China Gary]

I would like be able to open up a .jpg file from the open file dialog and then have the selected picture appear in a picture box, for submitting to a database at a later stage. Is this easily done? This is what i have so far, and am a small bit confused as to where to go! Dim OpenFileDialog As New OpenFileDialog OpenFileDialog.InitialDirectory = My.Computer.FileSystem.SpecialDirectories.MyDocuments OpenFileDialog.Filter = "Image files (*.jpg)|*.jpg|" If (OpenFileDialog.ShowDialog(Me) = System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK) Then 'what do i need to do from here??? End If Thanks

pictureBox.Image = Image.FromFile(OpenFileDialog.FilePath) Something like that

Don't forget to clear previous image, and there's no filepath property in the openfiledialog, remember that. So use filename instead. pictbox.Image = Nothing pictbox.Image = image.fromfile(openfiledialog.filename)
