[RESOLVED] Picture Box Issue

[OptionBase1]

pboxHangman.ImageLocation = "Images \ Hangman-  & numWrongGuesses & .png"

Anything inside of quotes is treated literally. So, given the following code:

Dim strMyMessage As String = "Hello!"
Dim intMyNumber As Integer = 1

MessageBox.Show("strMyMessage")
MessageBox.Show(strMyMessage)
MessageBox.Show("intMyNumber.ToString")
MessageBox.Show(intMyNumber.ToString)

Would pop up messages in the following order:

strMyMessage
Hello!
intMyNumber.ToString
1

From this, you can see that including a variable name inside of quotes does not result in the value stored in that variable to be used.

To demonstrate this, take the path you are trying to use to load an image from, and pop it into a MessageBox statement:

MessageBox.Show("Images \ Hangman-  & numWrongGuesses & .png")

You should see that what is displayed is probably not the intended path to one of your image files.

okay... This is the location to the Images Folder C:\Users\ENJ1105\source\repos\HangmanApp\HangmanApp\Resources\Images

Here are my instructions...

A PictureBox control that will display the hangman images. You’ll set the ImageLocation property to load the hangman images.

Check to see if the word (word) contains the guess (txtGuess).
If it does, then call the SetRightLetterLabels method (provided below) and increment the numRightGuesses variable.
If it doesn’t, set the image in the pboxHangman and increment the numWrongGuesses variable.
Your code should resemble the following:
pboxHangman.ImageLocation = “images\Hangman-” &
numWrongGuesses & “.png”
numWrongGuesses += 1

Your code should resemble the following:
pboxHangman.ImageLocation = “images\Hangman-” & numWrongGuesses & “.png”

Does your code resemble that? If not, then that's probably a good place to start.
