Image.FromFile Error

[pendragon]

I have a strange error that I can't figure out,

 

I have a form with a picture box and a button on it, when you press the button it should load a picture into the picture box but for some reason I always get the error

 

An unhandled exception of type 'System.IO.FileNotFoundException' occurred in system.drawing.dll

 

Additional information: C:\A

 

the code in the button is

 

this.pictureBox1.Image = Image.FromFile("C:\\A");

 

the file does exist and if I use an openFileDialog to select the file then it works.

 

What is going on :confused: :confused: :confused:

 

Thanks

can you name a file \A ? , shouldnt you have an extension , eg: .bmp on there?

Hi dynamic_sysop

 

It used to be EMPLOYEE.JPG, this is just what it has ended up as after an hour of trying to get it to work.
