visual studio 2015 - Loading images from a folder [VB.NET] -

i'm experiencing problem program. want create photo gallery girlfriend can install on computer. want import images folder on form load , display them in picturebox.

when load form big red 'x' fills box. looks drawing.bitmap errorimage. problem? appreciated. thank you.

    private sub pigge_gallary_load(sender object, e eventargs) handles mybase.load     dim directory new io.directoryinfo("c:\pics\bears")     if directory.exists         dim jpgfiles() io.fileinfo = directory.getfiles("*.jpg")         each jpgfile io.fileinfo in jpgfiles             if jpgfile.exists                 dim image = drawing.image.fromfile(jpgfile.fullname)                 using image                     picpig.image = image                 end using             end if         next     end if end sub 

once exit using block, you're losing image reference.

try changing

picpig.image = image 

to

picpig.image = image.clone 

or set image file:

picpig.image = drawing.image.fromfile(jpgfile.fullname) 

also, because you're doing in loop, it's going replace picturebox image loops. when finishes loop, picturebox displaying last image.
