    Storing Images alongside ID

    Hi !

    I am using text files to store my userID's as I am only allowed to do it this way as part of our high school assignment. However I would also like to store images alongside each ID. How can I do this I am struggling with this any ideas ?

    Put them in to a sub folder "photos" and rename them with the ID (assuming the ID is a valid filename format).

    It's hard to give accurate advice without knowing the kind of data you have, but assuming that your data includes an ID number like 37, save the picture file with a name of 37 (eg: 37.jpg)

    To load the picture you can detect which file(s) in the folder have the same name (using
    Directory.GetFiles or similar), and assuming there is just one then display it (if there is more than one then it is debatable).
