Get path of image

Question

I made a windows application in C#. I have picture (pro.png) in debug file and I load it to picturebox by this code:

C#

String FileName = "pro.png";
this.pictureBox1.Image = Image.FromFile(FileName);

When I published the project it generates an error in the application .EXE that it can't see the image. What is the solution please?
If I create a folder (PIC) in my solution and then add the picture (user.png) to it how can I put this image into the pictureBox.

Thanks in advance!

Why did you delete you first question where you asked exactly the same question. You already had gotten an answer so what were you thinking when you deleted your question. This kind of behavior is not tolerated on CP. I see you changed the tagging. So I guess that gives me an answer to what I asked of you in a comment to your question. It is a WinForm application and not ASP.NET as you tagged it last time.

I see though that my edit of your question has at least made it into the "new" question, but again you ignored the use of code tags. (rectified)

I reckon your question is whether you can get away with not providing the full path. If so, no. It's always best to provide the full path to the image.

You will find that sometimes it works okay even if you don't specify the full path, but don't depend on this behavior. The current directory, search directories etc. are not predictable at runtime, so you need to specify the full path always.

----------

In response to your comment, here's how you can get the path to the image folder in your application directory (using your example folder and image names).

C#

string imagePath = Path.Combine(Path.GetDirectoryName(
    Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location), @"pic\pro.png");
