Using PictureBox on windows form to render whatever image you want at runtime !

My scenario here is to display a critical error icon on my custom dialogue box form. In case if we are showing a System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox, we can pass the parameter as ' MessageboxIcon.Error '  and it will show the error icon on the messagebox.

 But my requirement here is different.

So, I placed a PictureBox control on the form, named 'pcIcon',  and painted it with SystemIcons.Error.

Design:

PictureBox has an event called Paint. We can handle that and it is there we have to paint it with our desired image.

Code:

Finally the displayed Custom Dialogue Box with Error Icon :

Call  ShowDialog() method of the designed form, optionally passing the 'owner' parameter as 'Me' (in vb) / 'This' (in c#).
