Your picture box has an image associated with it. The image can be anything including one created in memory. Create a
Bitmap(which is a type of image) in memory and draw the multiple other images into it in the appropriate place with the appropriate size.

If you are going to show more than one images on a single picture box, you may try creating a new image containing all images which you want to show. Following code will show two images img1.jpg and img2.jpg on the same picture box, by drawing them on a third image; second image will be drawn at the bottom of the first image- -----------------------------Start Code----------------------------- System.Drawing.Bitmap MergedImage; System.Drawing.Image Image1 = Image.FromFile("C:\\img1.jpg"); System.Drawing.Image Image2 = Image.FromFile("C:\\img2.jpg"); if (Image1.Width > Image2.Width) { MergedImage = new Bitmap(Image1.Width, Image1.Height + Image2.Height); } else { MergedImage=new Bitmap(Image2.Width,Image1.Height + Image2.Height); } Graphics g = Graphics.FromImage(MergedImage); g.DrawImage(Image1, 0, 0); g.DrawImage(Image2, 0, Image1.Height); this.pictureBox1.Image = MergedImage; g.Dispose(); --------------------------------------End Code------------------------------- I hope this helps:). -Dave.

Alternatively, throw away that PictureBox; use a Panel instead, and in its OnPaint method, draw the different images with Graphics.DrawImage() at the required positions. :)

I am trying to pull a text from a database and display it in the picture box under the images. I am getting errors though. Any idea how I can do that?
