C# PictureBox - Can't make it work

c#, image, picturebox, winforms

Solution

The picture-box control needs to be added to the control-collection of the top-level control it should belong to - in the case, the form itself. Relevant: `Control.Controls`.

Replace:

picBox.Show();

with:

Controls.Add(picBox);

Problem

I'm having trouble displaying a PictureBox in C#. I have two forms. In my main form I'm calling the other form, where the PictureBox is located. This is how I am calling the second form: ``` frmODeck oDeck = new frmODeck(); oDeck.Show(); ``` Now, this is my second form, where the PictureBox is located from main form ``` namespace Shuffle_Cards { public partial class frmODeck : Form { private PictureBox picBox; private Image image; public frmODeck() { InitializeComponent(); } private void frmODeck_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { image = Image.FromFile("C:\\C2.jpg"); picBox = new PictureBox(); picBox.Location = new Point(75, 20); picBox.Image = image; picBox.Show(); } public void getCards() { } } } ``` What am I doing wrong, or what am I missing? Thanks
