You can:
- get a list of all files in a specific folder.
- filter them, possibly by extension, to only get image files.
- add them to the ImageList.
Now, which part do you need help with?

If you don't know the filenames but you do know the folder, you utilize the System.IO.DirectoryInfo to enumerate the files.

Plenty of code samples out there can be found with Google, I grabbed this one from
TheScarms.com : List all files in a folder using VB.NET[^]

VB

Imports System.IO
Dim strFileSize As String = ""
Dim di As New IO.DirectoryInfo("C:\temp")
Dim aryFi As IO.FileInfo() = di.GetFiles("*.txt")
Dim fi As IO.FileInfo

For Each fi In aryFi
    strFileSize = (Math.Round(fi.Length / 1024)).ToString()
    Console.WriteLine("File Name: {0}", fi.Name)
    Console.WriteLine("File Full Name: {0}", fi.FullName)
    Console.WriteLine("File Size (KB): {0}", strFileSize )
    Console.WriteLine("File Extension: {0}", fi.Extension)
    Console.WriteLine("Last Accessed: {0}", fi.LastAccessTime)
    Console.WriteLine("Read Only: {0}", (fi.Attributes.ReadOnly = True).ToString)
