picturebox and openfiledialog

How can i take a file from an openfiledialog and show it in a picturebox.
I have tried i like this but it wont work.

Thanks in advance

Code:

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            openFileDialog1.ShowDialog();
            pictureBox1.BackgroundImage = Image.FromFile(openFileDialog1.FileName);
            pictureBox1.Refresh();

        }

I encapsulated mine to check the button that returned but otherwise i tried your code and it works fine for me. Although, I do use Image rather than BackgroundImage

Code:

DialogResult dResult = openFileDialog1.ShowDialog();
            if (dResult == DialogResult.OK)
            {
                pictureBox1.Image = Image.FromFile(openFileDialog1.FileName);
                pictureBox1.Refresh();
            }

try an image instead of image background just to see.

Does it show anything? I also set my

Code:

pictureBox1.SizeMode = PictureBoxSizeMode.StretchImage;

what sort of images are you trying? I used a jpeg and gif.
Also you could do like a

Code:

MessageBox.Show(openFileDialog1.FileName);

before it sets it just to see if its the proper file.
