I have a little problem with my c# program. I need to change the image of a picturebox in the code, so I used

Image Sign = Image.FromFile("C:\\Users\\Thomas\\Desktop\\Pictures\\GoStraight.png");

and then

ImageBox.Image=Sign;

It does work, but if I change the file location or go to another PC, the program starts with an error message. I somehow want to link the images to my program so that the programlocation doesnt really care (like if the program is on F:, E: or C:). Could you plese tell me a way to do that? That would be Great!

What kind of application are you targeting ? WinForm, WPF ? – Habib Feb 06 '15 at 16:17
Have you tried putting the image in your Resources? Then you can access it using AppName.Properties.Resources.GoStraight – MatthewG Feb 06 '15 at 16:18
You should store the path of your images in the configuration file. Then read it from there. If you need to change the path you could update only the config file – Steve Feb 06 '15 at 16:18
I am targeting a WinForm – Thomas Moser Feb 06 '15 at 16:19
No,I haven't tried to put it in Resources. Didn`t know that it is possible.. Can you tell me how? – Thomas Moser Feb 06 '15 at 16:22
Oh sorry haven`t seen that there were already solutions. – Thomas Moser Feb 06 '15 at 16:25
Hmm, the solution is shown in Visual C# (i think), but I am using SharpDevelop. I tried to add a new Resource but I wasn`t able until now. – Thomas Moser Feb 06 '15 at 16:42
Nice, found it. Thx foryour help! – Thomas Moser Feb 06 '15 at 16:50
