How to load my jpg file into pictureBox

[Guest]

I want to show a pic using pictureBox in my app.
I use the following code:
pictureBox1.Image=new Bitmap("MMS.jpg");

It works fine when running on my PC. But it fails when running my app
"client.exe" on my pocket pc.(MMS.jpg and client.exe are under the same
directory)

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

What exception do you get?

On Windows CE there is no concept of current directory, so you paths must be
specified in full for example:-
pictureBox1.Image=new Bitmap(\\Program Files\\MyApp\\MMS.jpg);

I'm surprised its an IOException and not a FileNotFound exception. You need
to specify the full file path:-
pictureBox1.Image=new Bitmap("\\Program Files\\MyApp\\MMS.jpg");
Where \\Program Files\\MyApp\\ is replaced with the path to your app. You
can use
string apppath =
Path.GetDirectoryName(System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetName().CodeBase);

To get the path in which your exe is located. then add your filename to this
pictureBox1.Image=new Bitmap(apppath + "\\MMS.jpg");
