I don't have a tutorial, but I worked in the Windows CE Compact Framework a couple of years ago.

Open up Visual Studio and create a Smart Device Project. Click on "View" and select "toolbox."

Under "Common Device Controls" you should see a control called "Picture Box." Drag it to your application.

All you need to do if you want to display a picture is set the PictureBox.Image to the file path of the image that you want to display.

Does that give you a good starting point?

Thanks.

So far so good but this is my problem:

I have created a mobile app and I want to change the background, so I have created a button that allows me to browse my device looking for pictures but I do not know how to update the Picture Box with a picture selected from my mobile.

Thanks again

Did you call the PictureBox.Refresh() Method once you were done with setting the image? If that doesn't work, post some code and I'll see if I can help.

Solution 2

First add a picture box and an openfiledialog
the on a button click even write this
me.picturebox1.load(openfiledialog1.filename)

I hope this helps, it is very easy!

Sorry but it did not work.
I am working on a smart device form not windows form so the "load" property is not available to use.

Thanks anyway
