How to load corrosponding picture into picturebox??

Hi,

I have a datagridview filled with movie titles.
Below the datagridview i have a picturebox.
I have a folder filled with cover images in c:\covers

What i try to do is this:
When i click a name in the datagridview the corrosponding picture is automaticaly loaded in the picturebox.

does anybody know how that works?

do you have the filename displayed in your datagridview?

you could use an 2d array to associate a friendly name (as displayed in your datagridview) with the filename

Well, I am not familiar with a datagrid view,

But all you do is do this:

Dim sMovieTitles() As String = {"Spider Man 3", "Fantastic Four"}
Dim sMoviePaths() As String = {"C:\Covers\Spiderman3.jpg", "C:\Covers\FantasticFour.jpg"}

Then you fill the datagrid with sMovieTitles, so that when you click an item
you will be able to retrieve the clicked item's image by Image.FromFile(sMoviePaths(IndexOfSelectedItem))

That's how I would do it in a combo box, IndexOfSelectedItem would be a variable you would set to the index of the current item selected in the data grid..

I am not familiar with them so I can not be more accurate, but that might help somewhat.

Cheers
