Position of a click on a picturebox

If I double click my picturebox in the design screen, I get a click event method in my code:

Code:

---

        private void PictureBox1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
        }

---

I know very little of the event syntax and class design, so I don't know how to get information from the event in question. I would like to know the coordinates where my mouse clicked the picturebox. Something like this:

Code:

---

        private void PictureBox1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
                int x = e.X;
                int y = e.Y;
        }

---

I know this won't work. But how should this be done?

Most events will have 'EventArgs' that contains information regarding the event. As you can see below the MouseClick event for a picture box has 'MouseEventArgs' which contains the coordinates of where you clicked.

Code:

---

private void pictureBox1_MouseClick(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
        {
            int xCoordinate = e.X;
            int yCoordinate = e.Y;
        }

---

really MouseEventArgs object have x and y property which specify the coordinates of where your mouse is cliked .

Code:

---


private void pictureBox1_MouseClick(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
        {
            int xCoordinate = e.X;
            int yCoordinate = e.Y;
        }

Well, as I wrote when I double click the picturebox (called pbProfile) I get the method:

Code:

---

        private void PictureBox1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
        }

---

This does not contain an event arg called MouseEventArgs, but only EventArgs which doesn't have an x- and y-coordinate. So how do I get the method you wrote:

Code:

---

private void pictureBox1_MouseClick(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
        {
        }

---

when you write dot(.) just after e .you will get their Methods.
