You left this one out : It add your control to the form control collection : It should be the last line of your code .

Me.Controls.Add(PictureBox2)

Here is a demo shows you how to create arrays of picturebox control .

This is more dynamic . You can specify number of pictureboxes along with X & Y Coordinates at runtime.
