Check the path of the image. Looks like the relative path while running the application is somewhat different than it looks like in designer and thus no image.

Try the logic mentioned in this tip:

Or else, add the image in the resource file of your application and access it. This would be better approach.

You must import the picture to your program, go to you solution explorer, right click in your project then add existing item, them change the filter to show all archives them found you picture and import.

Obs.: My visual studio is in other language so sorry if I wrote some wrong option, but I tried to gave you the correctly location.

Hope this help.
