I'm trying to make a button in c# windows form app that when i click on it it show a picture i-CodePudding

I've this assignment that im supposed to do a which is a c# wfa that contains 2 buttons one labeled as "show head" and another for "show tail" and when I click on of them it should shows the picture of it

I've added 2 buttons, labeled them and added 2 picture boxes then I looked it up. I found, I should in every button write the code like this.

pictureBox1.Image = Image.FromFile(Properties.Resources.Head);

But it give me error says that I cannot convert from system.drawing.bitmap to string

note: I've added the pictures in the resources

CodePudding user response：

Image.FromFile method accepts a file path in string form. while you an image bitmap itself in resource (and not a location of the image present in local/remote directory)

refer this: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.drawing.image.fromfile?view=dotnet-plat-ext-6.0

So for solution part, instead of

pictureBox1.Image = Image.FromFile(Properties.Resources.Head);

try this

pictureBox1.Image = Properties.Resources.Head
