Load all files in a folder 1

[ToshTrent]

Hi,

I have several folder with pictures in. I'm using the database primary key as the folder name to enable searching of the folders.

How can I locate the windows folder and load the pictures for that directory?

Thank you in advance!!!

What do you mean by "load"?
Do you just want a list of all files in the specified folder?

Sweep
...if it works dont mess with it

I want to load the image names into an array then call upon them when a user navigates though the application.

I need one image to be instantly displayed in a picture box. This method seems to have changed since vb 6 which is causing me a little confusion.

system.io.directory.getfiles

when you instantiate the directory object you can set the path.

a better function is the directoryinfo.getfiles which holds loads of information on each file using the fileinfo object

these methods will give you your array. As for loading them you can use the image.fromfile function for each item.

Thank you!

Could you possibly give me an example of the code I will need, I am running into a few problems.

The visual studio help files contains an example on how to use the method. If you don't have them installed, MSDN has an online version:
