How do I save a photo so that when using picture box, it would allow users from any computer to view the photo

At the moment, the photo will only show up on my computer because I saved it to my desktop :

pictureBox1.ImageLocation = (@"C:\Users\Jwang\Desktop\Jwang.jpg");

How do I make it so that when i send it in, the marker would be able to view the photo without changing the destination of the photo?

Thanks

is this C# I am guessing?

I feel like you left out quite a few details o.o

Normally for a desktop application I would imagine you have a /resources folder (somewhere under the root dir for your app) where you would store imgs....(obviously, the users would have to have this resources folder as well on their machine)

edit: quick google search:



so you could use a URL

i'm not familiar with your @ sign for strings except in objective c.

but to answer your question, two options:
1) if user creates/saves the image from your app, then you have a path. just save that path and use it.
2) if it comes packaged with the app, then you just specificy the path relative to current dir. eg: "resources/Jwang.jpg" or "../resources/Jwang.jpg"

In C# if you prefix a string literal with the @ symbol it means the string is to be read literally. It allows you to write out string literals without escaping special characters.

this



if equivalent to this




In Objective-C, prefixing a literal with the @ makes it evaluate to a pointer.

Sorry for not being detailed at the start, but I am using visual basics for windows desktop and its C#

User (Marker) will extract my files from a compressed zip folder that I will hand in online. So all the resources required will be in the folder (pictures, application)

now that you mention it, i remember reading that a while back. i've never actually used it. bad java hobbits D:

Look for a C# function to find your current running directory, and then append your logical path to your images there. Another option would be to store your image as a byte array inside your project and have it load it from memory.

Here is the function you are looking for. More information can be found in the msdn.

Thanks guys, I'm just going to write a comment telling the marker to change the directory of my account to the current one they are using. I am on my third week so I doubt they will be strict on the picturebox rule.

Another question:

Is there a way to get modeling project: use cases for microsoft visual basics express for windows desktop?
I don't have the option on my application and was hoping if theres a way to download it

Why you guys make this seem so complicated? Just put the picture in the bin folder and use relative directory.

pictureBox1.ImageLocation = ("Jwang.jpg");
