Inserting Images into Array

Question

Hi, I am developing a mobile application using Visual Studio 2005, and I was wondering how to store images into arrays?

 

I have declared the image array and ensured that the filepaths are correct:

Dim strPlantFile() As Image = {New Bitmap("file:///C:\Users\Alex\Documents\Visual Studio 2005\RFIDApplication\RFIDApplication\images\cattail_thumb.jpg"), New Bitmap("file:///C:\Users\Alex\Documents\Visual Studio 2005\RFIDApplication\RFIDApplication\images\pipewort_thumb.jpg"), New Bitmap("file://C:\Users\Alex\Documents\Visual Studio 2005\RFIDApplication\RFIDApplication\images\subsuban_thumb.jpg")}

 

Also, I have created a loop to loop through the array to retrieve the relevant images:

For count = 0 To strPlantID.Length - 1

If (txtTagID.Text = strPlantID(count)) Then

pboxImg.Image = strPlantFile(count)

Exit For

End If

Next

 

But I get the error that: Value does not fall within the expected range.

 

Did I make any mistake? How should I rectify it?

What is the proper way of declaring an array to contain images?

Answer 3

I usually work with the ImageList class,

take a look at this article:

I think the error you're getting above is because your arrays (strPlantFile and strPlantID) doesn't have the same dimensions. Check your strPlantID declaration
