How to tell Picturebox what the imagefile is

Question

 

Hello All,

 

I want to programmatically set the image of a pictuurebox.

 

When I the following,  I get a compile error  saying that 

"Value of type String cannot be converted to 'System.Drawing.Image'"

 

PictureBox1.Image = TextBox2.Text

 

I allow the user to select a file of type *.ico,  when they do I want to show that ico graphic in the Picturebox.

 

Does anyone know how I can do this ?

 

 

 

thanks
