Image.FromFile Error

[pendragon]

I have a strange error that I cant figure out,

I have a form with a picture box and a button on it, when you press the button it should load a picture into the picture box but for some reason I always get the error

An unhandled exception of type System.IO.FileNotFoundException occurred in system.drawing.dll

Additional information: C:\A

the code in the button is

this.pictureBox1.Image = Image.FromFile("C:\\A");

the file does exist and if I use an openFileDialog to select the file then it works.

What is going on

Thanks

can you name a file \A ? , shouldnt you have an extension , eg: .bmp on there?

Hi dynamic_sysop

It used to be EMPLOYEE.JPG, this is just what it has ended up as after an hour of trying to get it to work.
