change Resources bitmap using string

Sam

hey guys, I am trying to change a PictureBox's image...

This stuff works:
m_CardImg = new PictureBox();
m_CardImg.Image = cardGame.Properties.Resources.b1fv;

This stuff does not work:
string newImageLink = "b1fv";
m_CardImg = new PictureBox();
m_CardImg.Image = cardGame.Properties.Resources + newImageLink;

I am trying to change the Resources bitmap image called b1fv using a variable called newImageLink (which contains a string version of it).

Thank you in advance for your help!

Hi there,

Please try this code. it should work.

   This stuff does not work:
   string newImageLink = "give a file name here";
   //m_CardImg = new PictureBox(); -- No need to allocate it again
   //m_CardImg.Image = cardGame.Properties.Resources + newImageLink; -- Your code
   m_CardImg.Image = Image.FromFile ("") // like C:\MyFile.bmp

Hope this helps.

Regards,
