This error message probably means that the path is not valid. As far as
my tests with your project went, I needed an absolute path as an
argument to the Bitmap constructor. If the path was not correct or
relative, then I received the same error mesdsage as you specify. I
haven't got your project installed on this computer, but try the
following. The path should be relative to your Windows Form, I think.

Bitmap bgImage = new Bitmap(Path.GetFullPath(@"Images/ClosedDoor.gif"));
pbxFloor0.Image = bgImage;

If you still have problems, assign
Path.GetFullPath(@"Images/ClosedDoor.gif") to the Text property of a
Label so that you can see it, and check in Windows Explorer that the
path points to the actual file.
