need picture help
 

ok say i have a picture box and want users to be able to upload there own picture into itt what do i do?

you have to use the open dialog or if you want you can create your own one. then you just set the picture property(picture1.picture) to that they have selected from the open dialog and then pass that to loadpicture function, you can improve this by filter out other files such as text files and other non image files from the user in the open dialog box.

Double click the command button(to get to its command_click event), and put this code into the Command_Click Event:
