Just want to know the best method to load a picture in a picture box dynamically. As part of my development, I was supposed to load 4 pictures from network to 4 picturebox controls.
For which, I found, 2 methods.
1. Picturebox1.Image=new bitmap("C:\test.jpg")
(or)
2. Piturebox1.ImageLocation="C:\test.jpg"
Which one is more suitable interms of performance.
i'm doing a simple form tat could add picturebox during runtime and i could add several picture into it.
View 5 RepliesIs it possible to load an image into a picturebox when that picture box is clicked? What would the syntax look like? It's an image that I already dropped onto the form that I would like to load into that picturebox.
View 1 RepliesI'm new in the vb.net world. The question I have is how to display an image which is in a access data base in a picturebox in visual basic(2010).
View 7 RepliesI want to make a program similar to this one: [URL]. I already have the ListBox ready. But how do I load the images?
The image name works like this:
-File1.package
-File1A.jpg
-File1B.jpg
So the .package is removed and A.jpg or B.jpg is added.
I am trying to get a picture box (that has a loading image .gif) to be visible while the program reads a text file and change visible to false when all the information in the file.txt is displayed in the textbox.
Here is my
Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
PictureBox1.Visible = True
If System.IO.File.Exists("C: est.txt") = True Then
Dim objreader As New System.IO.StreamReader("C: est.txt")

I currently have 4 images that I need to load into a picture box at different times, it works fine for me but if I send it to a friend it wont work because the file path is different. I use this at the moment:
If filmType = "Jumper" Then
img = "E:TheatreBookinginimages"
picFilms.Load(img)
lblFilmInfo.Text = ("A genetic anomaly allows a young man to teleport himself anywhere.")
lblFilmInfoTwo.Text = ("This gift leads him into a war that has existed for centuries.")
End If
I have a picture box on my form along with a combo box with a number of different options. So anyway when a combo box item is selected I want it to look in the dataset for the selected item's row and pick out the image to load and then using an IF statement it sets the image (or should).
Dim RaceImg As String = DS.Tables("tblRaces").Rows(ID).Item("RaceImg")
If RaceImg = "AusGP" Then
GP_Picture.Image = Image.FromFile("./Track Images/AusGP.png")
ElseIf RaceImg = "MalGP" Then
GP_Picture.Image = Image.FromFile("./Track Images/MalGP.png")
End If
I have tried a number of different ways to get this working, I have tried them in the resources for the program and also tried the following code
GP_Picture.Image = "./Track Images/AusGP.png"
It seems like the picture box isn't redrawing or something? Just to add it will load the first image which is the AusGP because thats the first option in the combo box, after that none of the others will load.
I'm sure there are similar threads, but I've search and tried most things and still can't find something that works.
I am testing a small project, in the attempt to find the solution for a much bigger application. So, here's the deal. I'm using VB 2005 and MSSQL 2005 (both are Express editions). I've stored the names to some images in the database.
When I use PictureBox1.image = My.Resources.<filename>
and build the application, it works and properly displays the image. Now, what I'm really trying to do is extract an image names from the database and assign it to a variable, this is what I have.
Dim EqTest As New Test1DataSet.EqTestDataTable
Dim EqTestAdapter As New Test1DataSetTableAdapters.EqTestTableAdapter
EqTestAdapter.Fill(EqTest)
[Code]....
I've used the messagebox for testing so that I can see what the value of "Trythis" is, and the string is "My.Resources.<filename>", which is the correct string, but I can't use that string in the picturebox to display the image, because I get an error "Value of Type String can not be converted to System.Drawing.Image".
Ive been programming in VB6 for years, i figured its time for an upgrade. Here's what im doing, and what the problem is:
Im loading a bunch of pictures on top of one image. They are all PNG files, and some of the images have transparent edges, and some semi-transparency within the image itself.
So basically, i need to be able to load these images on top of the other images, and still maintain the transparency.
Is this possible in VB08? This is one of the main reasons i moved to 08 from vb6, more things possible including multithreading.
I have a window application develpoed in vs 2008, framework 3.5, in which i have put a button.. Now where i click that button the other text boxes are filled up with the data from database thru web service.. what i want is while all text boxes are being filled i want to show an animated loading gif image till data loading is completed in all the text boxes.. i have tried to use image picture box but while data is loading gif image is displyes but in static mode.. cant see animation... i think this is because data loading and animation both are done thru one UI thread..

View 2 RepliesI'm adding the icon image of a process and adding it to a PictureBox. I want the image to be centered, but it's stuck in the Top Corner of the box.
VB.NET
Dim ico As Icon = Icon.ExtractAssociatedIcon(p.MainModule.FileName)
Properties.picProcess.BackgroundImageLayout = ImageLayout.Center
Properties.picProcess.Image = ico.ToBitmap
I'm setting the Layout first and then adding the icon. I've tried the reverse and I still get nothing.

I have made a program that has an image moving across the screen. The image changes its movement direction when the arrows are pressed. Now, I am trying to rotate the image (an arrow) to match the direction. Here is the subroutine to rotate the image. It uses the hidden PictureBox2's image (the original right arrow) as the source, because I couldn't think of any other way.

I have a picturebox and I am trying to create a masking system to use in different graphics projects.Is there a simple way to select an object with pixel precision. For example if I have a picture of an animal, how can I select it by moving the mouse over it with precision instead of selecting an entire rectangle area where the object might be transparent?
Is there a way to do this with the builtin capabilities of gdi+ or is this something that requires code? If it does require code, does anyone have an example of this?
How do i select a picture that is in my resources for my picturebox in vb code? Depending on a selection i have made on the form a different picture has to be placed in the picturebox.
