I'm trying to make a simple interface for my stampcollection.
I like the appearance of the DataGridView, and want to be able to click a record in the grid, and make this event show a specific picture in a picturebox on the form.
To solve this I need help with at least theese items:
1. How do I , when adding records, save pictures to an image catalogue known by the application? I guess I shold use an OpenFileDialogue? Typical situation is that many pictures will have the name "einstein", that is, how can the application automaticly add a discriminating numbre to the file name?
2. How do I connect the SciphiDataGridView.CurrentRow.Index to the correct image?

Thanks a lot in advance.

Can I suggest you look at this article :

http://www.dreamincode.net/forums/topic/74114-a-really-simple-database

Its deals with adding and viewing images to a MS-SQL Server or Access Database using "OpenFileDialogue" and VB.net. You can easily modify the example to suit your application.

Hope it can help
