add image from folder to a list<image>

Violeta Popa

Hi :) I have a folder which contains several images and a list. I want to add in the list, the images from the folder, and everytime i add a new image in the folder, to be added in the list. Some ideas? thanks!

I've tried this ;))

string path="C:\\Users\\Vio\\Desktop\\Gestiune asigurari auto\\imagini";

string[] jpg = Directory.GetFiles(path, "*.jpg", SearchOption.AllDirectories);

string[] png = Directory.GetFiles(path, "*.png", SearchOption.AllDirectories);

string[] bmp = Directory.GetFiles(path, "*.bmp", SearchOption.AllDirectories);

string[] gif = Directory.GetFiles(path, "*.gif", SearchOption.AllDirectories);

int total=jpg.Length+png.Length+bmp.Length+gif.Length;

Image[] image;

List images = new List();

for (int i = 0; i < total; i++)

{

images.Add(image[i]);

} but :-??

Try:

string path="C:\\Users\\Vio\\Desktop\\Gestiune asigurari auto\\imagini";
string[] jpg = Directory.GetFiles(path, "*.jpg", SearchOption.AllDirectories);
string[] png = Directory.GetFiles(path, "*.png", SearchOption.AllDirectories);
string[] bmp = Directory.GetFiles(path, "*.bmp", SearchOption.AllDirectories);
string[] gif = Directory.GetFiles(path, "*.gif", SearchOption.AllDirectories);

List images = new List();
foreach(string s in jpg) images.Add(Image.FromFile(s));
foreach(string s in png) images.Add(Image.FromFile(s));
foreach(string s in bmp) images.Add(Image.FromFile(s));
foreach(string s in gif) images.Add(Image.FromFile(s));

The column needs to be of type DataGridViewImageColumn for the images to show up.

Are you sure that this is what you've got?

Try:

for (int i = 0; i < total; i++)
{
dgv.Rows[i].Cells["societate"].Value = images[i];
}

Thanks! I have one last question, if you'd like to answer..I'm trying to add this images in datagridview cells. I've declared the column of type image. This is the code:

Acasa main = (Acasa)Application.OpenForms["Acasa"];
DataGridView dgv = main.politaGridView;
List images = new List();
string path = "C:\\Users\\Vio\\Desktop\\Gestiune asigurari auto\\imagini";
string[] jpg = Directory.GetFiles(path, "*.jpg", SearchOption.AllDirectories);
string[] png = Directory.GetFiles(path, "*.png", SearchOption.AllDirectories);
string[] bmp = Directory.GetFiles(path, "*.bmp", SearchOption.AllDirectories);
string[] gif = Directory.GetFiles(path, "*.gif", SearchOption.AllDirectories);
int total = jpg.Length + png.Length + bmp.Length + gif.Length;

foreach (string s in jpg) images.Add(Image.FromFile(s));
foreach (string s in png) images.Add(Image.FromFile(s));
foreach (string s in bmp) images.Add(Image.FromFile(s));
foreach (string s in gif) images.Add(Image.FromFile(s));

for (int i = 0; i < total; i++)
{
dgv.Rows[i].Cells["societate"] =???
}
