Visual Basic Help

Paulie Walnuts

I need to make a programme with constantly changing image files. The files in question will be located on the C drive. Not sure where to begin with this, I'm not too familiar with VB. So far I'm going along the lines of having a timer with the code

Dim s1 As String = "c:\temp\image"
Dim s2 As String = ".bmp"
Dim num As Integer = (i) ' construct file name by concatenating 3 things

pbxDisp.Image = Image.FromFile("s1 & num & s2")

I want to increment the image number by one each time but am completely lost!!!

Dim s1 As String = "c:\temp\image"
 Dim s2 As String = ".bmp"
Dim num As Integer = (i)                        ' construct file name by concatenating 3 things
do while num <= 10         
    pbxDisp.Image = Image.FromFile("s1" & num & "s2")
    num = num + 1
loop

Will loop up to 10.

You don't need the quotes in:

pbxDisp.Image = Image.FromFile("s1" & num & "s2")

should be

pbxDisp.Image = Image.FromFile(s1 & num & s2)

amen

this sounds like home work.

though there were rules on providing solutions?

The rules are basically explain you're problem and provide some code. The OP did both.
