loading picturebox image from file

Question

I tried these two approaches. Neither worked - the picture box remains empty. How can I fix the code? I must be missing something obvious. 1. if (File.Exists(saveImageFileName)) { MessageBox.Show( "Image file exists" ); tempImage = Image.FromFile(saveImageFileName); pictureBox.Image = tempImage; } 2 if (File.Exists(saveImageFileName)) { MessageBox.Show( "Image file exists" ); pictureBox.Image = new Bitmap(saveImageFileName); ; }

If your image resolution is too high then it will take time (not too much) to depict them into the picturebox. You can skip showing messagebox in between the image or show them after loading like below if (File.Exists(saveImageFileName)) { pictureBox.Image = Image.FromFile(saveImageFileName); MessageBox.Show( "Image file exists" ); //well, there is no sense to show a messagebox } Do try with other image files, there might be corrupt file format OR share your project file alongwith the image you are trying Good Luck!!

Code seems good, might be it doesn't fall in if condition. Recheck again or clean & rebuild your project

It does fall into the 'if' because I get a message that the file exists.

check your path first, i think your condition is getting false so the code inside curley braces is not executing. pictureBox1.Image = Image.FromFile(@ "Images\a.bmp" ); If the above works , means there is a problem in your if statement.

Hello Kenneth, make sire path is correct and file is exists, i tested code working fine. private void button1_Click( object sender, EventArgs e) { string saveImageFileName = @ "C:\Users\rajan\Pictures\Camera Roll\WIN_20200711_08_17_37_Pro.jpg" ; //if (File.Exists(saveImageFileName)) //{ // MessageBox.Show("Image file exists"); // Image tempImage = Image.FromFile(saveImageFileName); // pictureBox1.Image = tempImage; //} if (File.Exists(saveImageFileName)) { MessageBox.Show( "Image file exists" ); pictureBox1.Image = new Bitmap(saveImageFileName); ; } }
