[thelist] question concerning c#dynamicallychangingwhatisinapicturebox

[Robert Vreeland]

Not sure if this will help,
But looking through some SDK examples I noticed two potential differences.
1. Use the full path to the file, ex.
	@"c:some\path\to\image\image.bmp"
2. Add boolean true after the image path, ex.
	 Bitmap bgImage = new Bitmap(@"c:\Images\ClosedDoor.bmp", true);

Hope it helps

Thanks, Chris.

I am still struggling over it. I will let you know how it comes out.

To simplify things, I am trying to get THIS code to work:

Bitmap bgImage = new Bitmap(@"\Images\ClosedDoor.gif");

pbxFloor0.Image = bgImage;

I got it off the msn pages, so it SHOULD work, but I get a message that it
doesn't like the parameter.
