Is there anyone who could fix my problem in loading the picture in picture box using open button in the menu bar. because it always says "filename" has the problem.

filename = openFileDialog1->FileName;
picturebox1->ImageLocation = Bitmap::FromFile();

I dont know why it is not working.

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, PLEASE USE CODE TAGS:

int main()
{
    //Blah
    return 0;
}

This looks like some kind of Microsoft .NET or managed language. It is not C++. Try the windows section, where some people might be familiar with whatever libraries/runtime you're using, or if that doesn't work, find a forum for whatever this language is.

oh thank you so much for your help. i really really appreciate it a lot. I admit that i am a newbie in c++ programming and in this group also. I will read it carefully ^_^

Try changing picturebox1->ImageLocation = Bitmap::FromFile(); to picturebox1->Image = Bitmap::FromFile(filename);
