Im using Visual studio 2005 and I want to push a button which opens either folderbrowserdialog or openfiledialog(which ever works better) and select a picture when I Push Ok the picture I selected becomes the backround image of the form does anybody have idea on how to do this? thanks
If you want to select a folder then you use a FolderBrowserDialog. If you want to select a file then you use an OpenFileDialog or SaveFileDialog, depending on whether the file is a source or a destination.
Add your Button and OpenFileDialog to the form. Handle the Click event of the Button and, in the event handler, show the OpenFileDialog. If the user clicks OK, get the FileName from the dialogue and call Image.FromFile to create an Image object, which you can then assign to the appropriate form property.
I dont understand is the call the image.fromfile but i get everything else, thanks for the reply:)

The first two results are the documentation, which should always be your first port of call anyway, plus there are more examples. That's you one freebie.
