This made no sense at all. What's a "router"? What's a "node"? What do they have to do with PictureBoxes? How does this "file" fit into all of this??

Probably, it's something like graphical programming. I think the whole field is pretty stupid, but the particular idea to use PictureBox is just silly, shows misunderstanding of what's involved.
I tried to explain things in my answer.

Networking intermixed with the Programming? I like this one. :-)

If you give more specific details of the kind of visual user interface you are trying to create, I, and I am sure other people, here, will try to help you.

Are the "nodes" part of the image of the "routers" ? Do all the "routers" have the same number of "nodes" ?

It sounds like the picture box is a really bad candidate for the component you can use. Please see my past answers:
Append a picture within picturebox[^],
draw a rectangle in C#[^],
How do I clear a panel from old drawing[^].

What to do instead? I would probably advise something if the question was not so vague. Anyway, if you hope to combine some graphics with image fragments formed by the instances of PictureBox, it will give you a lot more troubles and no benefits at all. You really need to draw the whole scene as a whole graphical element. Images can be presented using Graphics.DrawImage or not used at all. The further detail depends on what exactly you want to achieve.

Based on the title of the question "swicth case" makes me think he wants to have drag and drop and wants to do a switch statement on which picturebox was dropped. Something along those lines.

Sergey Alexandrovich Kryukov 16-Sep-14 16:18pm

Yes, it could be that. Or a note on a graph is static, but represents the "if" operator (or something similar).
In all those cases, the key is not to use PictureBox but represent all graph in a single graphical object.

Actually, I like your idea of Graphics.DrawImage thing. That is a great thing, but again, how can those graphics raises events! -_-

Sergey Alexandrovich Kryukov 16-Sep-14 16:31pm

This is not a problem at all. The events should be underlying control. It's still much easier (called "hittest") than using separate controls, especially such redundant controls as PictureBox.
