I’m making a file sorter program and am trying to get all files have a preview in the picture box. Only images are able to be shown in a picture box so I’m wondering if it’s possible to either pull the preview image from windows explorer for if I can add a program in that generates an image preview of any file using the same process as windows explorer. As it’s a file sorter I need it to show actual previews of each file.

Here’s what I’m using:

Visual Studio 2019

C# tools 3.6.0

Microsoft .NET framework 4.8.03752
