Getting FileInfo

[Iain Wicks]

If I want to get file info from a file called by a dialog box, I can use

Dim File As FileInfo = = New FileInfo(ofdImage.FileName)

No Problem.
What about if i want to get the same info from a picturebox.image because there doesn't seem to be a picturebox.filename property.

Thanks

The image in a PictureBox is an Image object and has no specific connection to a file. The image itself may not even have come from a file. It may have been loaded from a resource, or drawn manually in code. If you want to know what file an image was loaded from then it's up to you to remember it at the point that the file is opened and the Image created. If you don't do so then that information is lost because it is not automatically stored anywhere.

I think I'm being rather restrained. I'm subscribed to fewer than half the threads on the front page. If it gets above 50% I have to call my sponsor. One day at a time...
