Question

When I say I’m a beginner, I really am as fresh as you can get so apologies up front!

What I am trying to do is in a form have two picture boxes and a button. When I click on the button it picks 2 new images from my image folder and it will do this a total of 5 times

Any ideas how I approach this – Here’s what I have so far for the button click

 private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
      pictureBox1.Load(@"C:\Resources\PICT01.JPG");
      pictureBox2.Load(@"C:\Resources\PICT02.JPG");
}

Any answers really need to be basic as I am just learning ! Thanks in advance

Answer 1

You need to create a global int to keep track of how often you have switched pictures, and handle that number in your button1_click.

I’m no expert myself but here’s how i would do it. A switch is ideal here because you need to check 5 different possibilities.

//global int
int count = 0;

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
  count++;
  switch(count)
  {
     case 1:
       //load image 1 and 2
       break;
     case 2:
       //load image 3 and 4
       break;
     case 3:
       //load image 5 and 6
       break;
     case 4:
       //load image 7 and 8
       break;
     case 5:
       //load image 9 and 10
       break;
     default: 
       break;
  }
}
