Do you mean that you want to give the PictureBox a URL to an image on the internet and have the PictureBox show that image?

If so, use the ImageLocation property of the PictureBox.

There is two ways, you can use the .Image property to set a Image object to display, or you can use the .ImageLocation if you want to give it an address and have the picture box do its magic.

Do you really have an image named "ShowImage.GPEG"? Are you sure it's not "JPEG"?

[tlhIn`toq]

Is your file extension really "GPEG" ? With a G. Not "JPEG" or "JPG".

Might I recommend you get in the habit of confirming files exist before trying to use them?

string myPath = "c:\\ShowImage.jpg";
if (System.IO.File.Exists(myPath)
{
   // Do something with the picture.
}
else
{
   MessageBox.Show("File is missing", "Dork");
}

Are you having an exceptions when you run that line of code? Or does the picturebox just not show anything?

Try doing this:

PbPerson.ImageLocation = @"C:\ShowImage.GPEG";

Also, TRIPLE check that your extension really is GPEG because I've never heard of that extension for images before. I'd really recommend you use Toq's code to check if the file even exists before you try to act upon it.
