Folder Browser Dialog to work in picturebox

[AndrewShev05]

Hello, I am a bare-bones beginner with very little to no knowledge of C# programming, also new to the forum. I want to make an image viewer to load a whole folder of images and be able to scroll through them. I met a large speedbump that I cannot figure out. I am using the folder browser dialog because I need to select the whole folder. Below is the code I have, but I can't get it to work. I need the folder to be selected through the folder browser dialog and placed into the picture box. Please help.


private void loadButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (folderBrowserDialog1.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
{
pictureBox1.Load(folderBrowserDialog1.SelectedPath);
}
}

A suggestion, use a BindingSource.

• Assign the image paths to it's DataSource when a folder is selected.
• In CurrentChanged event handler set PictureBox.ImageLocation to Current value.
• For navigation buttons just call BindingSource.MoveNext/MovePrevious methods.

Also, I see nothing in that assignment's specifications about scrollbars. Why were you saying that you needed scrollbars?

Nevermind. It was "scroll arrows" that you were talking about, not scroll bars.
