Hello everyone!!!

Can you please help me about my problem. I think this is very easy but I cannot figure out on how to do this.

I have created an application on my computer using Visual Studio 2008 and running on a windows 7 OS. My problem is I want to access the picture file on a network drive (say a LAN server with IP: 10.0.0.1).

This is my code, and it will execute when I pressed a button.

VB

PictureBox1.Image = Image.FromFile("\\10.0.0.1\C$\Image\picture.jpg")

I am trying to display the picture.jpg on my computer. What really seems to be the problem.

I Really Need Your help...thanks in advance..

Your work if fundamentally wrong. Stop hard-coding anything, be happy. Did you get my answer to the previous question.

C$ is only assessable by the administrator, so you should start by sharing the image folder directly with read access for everybody.

Correct, but the main issue of OP is hard-coding path. This is the second question, and probably my answer did not help OP. Please see:

I've given up trying to show people how to use knives and forks, when they seem to be stuck on chewing before swallowing :)

A fair point. :-)
I would rather said "stuck on swallowing before they learn chewing". :-)
