Image associated with DB record? 1

[Jonah86]

I'm trying to make it possible for a user to view a picture that will be related to the database record that they are currently viewing in my program. Say they are viewing the information for project A, and they want to see the picture that is related to project A; I just want a button to bring up the picture(in the program or outside of it) related to it. I was planning on just putting a form with an image object and changing the picture path at runtime. I would name the picture the same as the project number and then pull the project number from the form with the button to view the picture. This wont work it seems, as I can't change the 'picture' property at runtime.

So my question is, what is the best way to go about this? I considered putting the pictures in the database itself, but I'm not sure how to do that. I've never done anything like this before.

Thanks for your consideration

Lord I ask too many questions

Hi,

If you want to load the image control picture at run time you can use...

imgPicture.Picture.LoadFromFile(<filename here>);



There are two ways to write error-free programs; only the third one works.

Hmm, seems to work. Thanks a lot.
