You never added the picture boxes to the Controls collection of the form. You also need to set the Location and Size properties of each picture box so they don't all end up being in the exact same place, with the exact same size. It's OK to have them all the same size, just don't put them all at the same default coordinates (0,0). You'll only see one of the boxes if you do.

Solution 1

Set Parent[^] property of PDFPicture

You should also position your PictureBox'es or maybe use a FlowLayoutPanel[^]

Thank you very much Espen Harlinn for u r Answer.
By using FlowLayoutPanel i can dynamically create picture box and add pictures. Now my another problem is to get click event. My requirement is when i click on each Picture box i have to open corresponding file which have same name of that picture. Please help me.

Create a method
void clickEventHandler(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
PictureBox PDFPicture = sender as PictureBox;
// do you stuff
}

and then, during the creation of the PicktureBox'es assign it to the Click event of the PictureBox

PDFPicture.Click += clickEventHandler;

I'm *much* better at expressing myself in c# than vb
