[RESOLVED] loading a picture into a picturebox...

[noam309]

Hi ,

I have 2 radiobuttons and 1 picturebox

when choose radiobutton 1 I want to load picture1 into the picturebox
and when choose radiobutton 2 I want to load picture2 into the same picturebox .

I have tried this:

Private Sub RadioButton2_CheckedChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles RadioButton2.CheckedChanged
        If RadioButton2.Checked = True Then
            PictureBox1.Load(Application.StarupPath & "\T.jpg")
        End If
    End Sub

but as you probably understand it doesn't work ,Why?!
please need your quick respond.

NO, Sorry I didn't understand.

Can you write this line of code , I'm sort of a new in vb Net.

it tells me that -" Application.StarupPath " is not a member of ...

heres how to do it in visual studio 2003

Dim l_bmp As Bitmap
Try
l_bmp = New Bitmap("\My Document\ba.jpg")
PictureBox1.Image = l_bmp
Catch ex As Exception
MsgBox(ex.Message)
End Try

It gives an error:

" An error message cannot be displayed because an optional resource assembly contaning it cannot be found"

this is what I've done:

Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
        Dim l_bmp As Bitmap
        Try
            l_bmp = New Bitmap("D:\PIC\L10.jpg")
            PictureBox1.Image = l_bmp
        Catch ex As Exception
            MsgBox(ex.Message)
        End Try

    End Sub

Whats wrong??
