How to import an external file?

[Kenny Rymes]

Hello

I have a picture which I want to show in a picturebox

On the desktop I can do it like this:

PictureBox1.Image = Image.FromFile(Application.StartupPath &
"\data\mysmartphone.jpg")

How is it done on the cf?

Thanks

Kenny

You can use the Bitmap constructor. For example...
Bitmap bmp = new Bitmap("\blah\file.gif");
pictureBox1.Image = bmp;

And to get the application startup path...
