re. why wont the images change

[DGEN]

Hi All

I am not used to working in vb.net as of yet so this will seem like a real newbie question.

i am trying to link an array to six images that are in my program i assumed that the below code would would work as i cannot see another way in the list of objects that appers on pressing the period.

but to my bitter dissapointment it did not work it just left my image boxes transparent. can any body help me out on this issue

cheers

Card_1.Image.FromFile("..\Card Decks\Dark Pack\" & number_choose(0) & ".jpg")
Card_2.Image.FromFile("..\Card Decks\Dark Pack\" & number_choose(2) & ".jpg")
Card_3.Image.FromFile("..\Card Decks\Dark Pack\" & number_choose(7) & ".jpg")
Card_4.Image.FromFile("..\Card Decks\Dark Pack\" & number_choose(4) & ".jpg")
Card_5.Image.FromFile("..\Card Decks\Dark Pack\" & number_choose(1) & ".jpg")
Card_6.Image.FromFile("..\Card Decks\Dark Pack\" & number_choose(8) & ".jpg")

not sure off the top of my head, but you may need a .refresh after the image changes.

Also, you should check out the image list control. It lets you put all of your images into a collection at design time.

Hi Thank you for your reply but i had got to the botom of it

I thought that the below code would work

Card_1.Image.FromFile("..\Card Decks\Dark Pack\" & number_choose(6) & ".jpg")


But it was simply:

Card_1.Image = Image.FromFile("..\Card Decks\Dark Pack\" & number_choose(6) & ".jpg")

that was the problem.
