IF you you want to directly show the image you can easily specify the path of the image as source of image object in C# as
Image myImg = Image.FromFile("path here");
Bitmap myBmp = Bitmap.FromFile("path here");
Alternatively a Bitmap object can also be loaded with:
Bitmap myBmp = new Bitmap("path here");
Or to open a dialog box for image
Bitmap loadedBitmap = Bitmap.FromFile(openFileDialog1.Filename);
Or if you want to save your image in DB or want to read it in a Memory stream try this
