I have an image in one of my project folders:
Lets say its in:
~/App_Themes/Default/images/SomeImage.png
I want to load this image into a System.Drawing.Image, how do I do that?
If I try using the FromFile method of the Image class:
Image img = Image.FromFile("~/App_Themes/Default/images/SomeImage.png", true);
I get a FileNotFoundException.
I have read some suggesting to store the image into the Server but that's not an option. Is there any way to load this into the Image?
You seem to be using a relative path instead of a file path to locate the image. Try this:
var path = #"~/App_Themes/Default/images/SomeImage.png";
using (Image img = Image.FromFile(Server.MapPath(path)))
{
do some stuff
}
I had a similar problem. The problem for me was that I accidentally added Image folder inside of App_Code folder. I did not updated the code accordingly and therefore I was getting exception.
As soon I removed the Image folder out of App_Code folder, the problem was resolved.
Of course I could have updated also the path in the code.

I want to access my folder that contains Image files.
The folder is located inside my project. Here is the look on my Explorer:
[]
I am not able to access it through code when I do the following: Vanilla_Icons_Installer.Images.
How can I access Image1.png inside Images folder by doing PreviewPicture.Image = path?
In WPF you can use a relative path inside your XAML like this:
<Image x:Key="Image" Source="../Images/Image1.png" />
But in your screenshot I see that you are using WinForms and you want to set it through code.
Therefore you could try this:
PreviewPicture.Image = Image.FromFile(
Path.Combine (
Path.GetDirectoryName (Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location),
"Images/Image1.png"));
Don't forget to set the Copy to Output directory option to e.x. "Copy if newer" for your Image file.
The above code will create a Images directory in your bin/debug folder with the image inside.
Actually this fixed my problem:
PreviewPicture.Image = Image.FromFile(System.IO.Path.Combine(AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory, "Images", "LightColorful", "ClassImages.png"));
And setting the Copy to Output property of Image to Copy if newer.
I understand that this question has been asked (and answered) before. However, none of the solutions are working for me.
Below is a screen capture of all the relevant pieces of the puzzle:
Screen capture http://dinosaur-island.com/PlantPictureBoxScreenCap.jpg
As you can see there are numerous bitmaps of plants loaded as resources into the Images folder. There is a form with a picturebox named "PlantPicture". There is string, which I know has a good path (because I've checked it in the debugger):
PicPath = PicPath+".bmp";
Screen capture http://dinosaur-island.com/PlantDebugger.jpg
I've tried numerous ways of loading, casting, etc., etc.
The path should be something like: "Images\a.bmp". (Note the lack of a leading slash, and the slashes being back slashes.)
And then:
pictureBox1.Image = Image.FromFile(#"Images\a.bmp");
I just tried it to make sure, and it works. This is besides the other answer that you got - to "copy always".
Ok...so first you need to import the image into your project.
1) Select the PictureBox in the Form Design View
2) Open PictureBox Tasks
(it's the little arrow printed to right on the edge of the PictureBox)
3) Click on "Choose image..."
4) Select the second option "Project resource file:"
(this option will create a folder called "Resources" which you can access with Properties.Resources)
5) Click on "Import..." and select your image from your computer
(now a copy of the image will be saved in "Resources" folder created at step 4)
6) Click on "OK"
Now the image is in your project and you can use it with the Properties command. Just type this code when you want to change the picture in the PictureBox:
pictureBox1.Image = Properties.Resources.MyImage;
Note:
MyImage represent the name of the image...
After typing "Properties.Resources.", all imported image files are displayed...
It depends on your file path. For me, the current directory was [project]\bin\Debug, so I had to move to the parent folder twice.
Image image = Image.FromFile(#"..\..\Pictures\"+text+".png");
this.pictureBox1.Image = image;
To find your current directory, you can make a dummy label called label2 and write this:
this.label2.Text = System.IO.Directory.GetCurrentDirectory();
The accepted answer has major drawback!
If you loaded your image that way your PictureBox will lock the image,so if you try to do any future operations on that image,you will get error message image used in another application!
This article show solution in VB
and This is C# implementation
FileStream fs = new System.IO.FileStream(#"Images\a.bmp", FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read);
pictureBox1.Image = Image.FromStream(fs);
fs.Close();
Setting "Copy to Output Directory" to "Copy always" or "Copy if newer" may help for you.
Your PicPath is a relative path that is converted into an absolute path at some time while loading the image.
Most probably you will see that there are no images on the specified location if you use Path.GetFullPath(PicPath) in Debug.
I am trying to programmatically set image of ImageButton.
My code is below:
String path="Images/1/";
path= path + string.Format("{0}", _ds.Tables[_bplp.SqlEntityX].DefaultView[0]["Photograph"]);
ImageButton1.ImageUrl = path;
I am saving images in my site folder Images/1 , and storing image name in database.
Problem lies when I am trying to display image in ImageButton.
Although after debugging it, path variable is taking correct path of image
as "Images/1/imagename.jpg", but still ImageButton doesnot show image.
Also, Images folder lies at root level of website.
try this
replace this
String path="Images/1/";
with
String path="~/Images/1/";
Also, you can try ResolveUrl();
ImageButton1.ImageUrl = ResolveUrl("~/" + path);
Problem was in my webconfig file, I had set incorrect site folder url in that, above code is working fine now
Thanks to all
I have a game application in Visual Studio 2012 C#. I have all the .png images I am using in the Resources file of the project.
Have you any idea why I can access all the files but one by using Properties.Resources?
I checked the full filePath and it's set to the resources folder. And it's added in the program as I did Add -> Existing Item and added the image.
It looks just like the other images. I have no idea why it's not loading. I need this since I need to send a .exe by email to my lecturer and without this image the project is nothing!
I added this in the resource file
internal static System.Drawing.Bitmap grid_fw {
get
{
object obj = ResourceManager.GetObject("grid.fw", resourceCulture);
return ((System.Drawing.Bitmap)(obj));
}
}
and although now grid is available, it is returning null :/
Found from: Properties.Resources the icon name does not appear in the intellisense
You also need to add the icon to the Resources.resx file. Open it in
Visual Studio and drag your icon into the Icons menu of the resx and
it will become available.
Also, see Adding and Editing Resources (Visual C#)
You can get a reference to the image the following way:
Image myImage = Resources.yourImage;
If you want to make a copy of the image, you'll need to do the following:
Bitmap bmp = new Bitmap(Resources.yourImage);
Don't forget to dispose of bmp when you're done with it. If you don't know the name of the resource image at compile-time, you can use a resource manager:
ResourceManager rm = Resources.ResourceManager;
Bitmap yourImage = (Bitmap)rm.GetObject("yourImage");
The benefit of the ResourceManager is that you can use it where Resources.myImage would normally be out of scope, or where you want to dynamically access resources. Additionally, this works for sounds, config files, etc.
I have image control.I want to load image from my specific path.
i have a code in page behind
string imagePath ="E:/DotNetProjects/Templates/Default/icons/Computer.png";
imgEditor.ImageUrl = imagePath;
imgEditor.AlternateText = "Unable To Find Image";
path is exist and image is also available but always load alternate text.
imgEditor is my image control ID.
Plz help to catch my mistake.Thanks.
Just put your image in solution(any folder or even in root) and path image uri from that (with src in asp page) like :
src="Templates/Default/icons/Computer.png"
The imagePath is a filesystem path... you need a URL... (something like http://...). The URL must be accessible from the browser i.e. you need to setup your webserver (IIS) to serve the respective path... I would recommend putting the image into the solution/project so that the URL is relative...
