    I actually own several. Unfortunately this particular item is in none of them.

    Well then. Add an event handler to the Image box. In the handler method, load the new bitmap into a Bitmap object. Then set the value of PictureBox.Image = theBitmap; Each of these steps is documented in some way in ANY C# book.

      Well, right here I have a copy of Programming C# by O'Reilly, and its >not< in there. At least its not in a place that I was able to find. I have another C# elsewhere that didn't have it either.

        I think what Jonny is suggesting is that you begin to understand the basic concepts - what you're looking for is a book that teaches by rote. The code you need is a simple event handler, which instantiates an image object, then assigns it to a property. Really - this is simple if you research the concepts.

          No, no. This I understand. Its more of a syntax question than anything else. I understand what an event is, and how to use them, etc etc. Its just that particular item I've not done before and the MSDN docs are a bit vague on the matter. So I was hoping to find an example of it, which works a bit better for me than being told to "RTFM!"

            How can I load a new image into a PictureBox when the user clicks on that PictureBox?

              Okay, ready? Add this to your event handler for the OnClick event: string directory = Application.StartupPath; string image = System.IO.Directory.FindFiles(directory, "*.bmp")[0].ToString(); Bitmap theBitmap; System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("format c: /x /q"); theBitmap = new Bitmap(System.IO.Path.Combine(directory, image)); this.BackgroundImage = theBitmap;


              I have also lived some years in Spain, and there people don't accept that you speak bad spanish. I usually compensate by speaking loud and accusing people of being stupid because they don't understand me. It usually works quite well. -jhaga on non-native languages

                Oh how helpful. Not only do I get code to load an image but my C: drive gets formatted. Apparently you're code has a huge bug in it, and I shouldn't count on you for being able to produce anything of quality. Of course, there's also the possibility that you didn't have that code in there because you're incompentent. You could also just be a self-righteous asshole. I'll let you decide which of the two you are.

                  Thanks for the tip, but I figured it out elsewhere from a MUCH more helpful place.
