I’m inexperienced with windows forms (vb.net), and I have a rather silly question.

I’m opening an old project of someone elses, and there’s a PictureBox control on the form. The PictureBox has a photo, and I’m trying to find the location of the photo on the computer but can’t find it.

In ASPX, I can just look at the code behind and find out where the tags are pointing to (for the photo).

Is there a way to do that for vb.net?

Update:
The only code that exists for my object, with the image property is this: 

Me.pbTotal.Image = CType(resources.GetObject("pbTotal.Image"), System.Drawing.Image).

    Ok, I just found the true answer. Yes it in a resource file, but not for the project itself. I didn’t know that forms themselves have resource files (.resx) as well.

    In visual studio 2010 (not sure about the others), the .resx file is hidden. If you click the option to “Show All Files” in the solution explorer tool bar, you’ll then see that the form can be drilled down. There in the .resx file, I was able to find my image.
