Copy Image

[MFS]

Hello,

I need help copying an image file into a separate directory. For simplicity, image a form with 3 picturebox's and 3 buttons.

The buttons open up an openfiledialog. The user can select an image from a file on their computer and this image will show in the corresponding picturebox.

I would like to copy these files to a separate directory and rename them sequentially. Like Pic1.jpg, Pic2.jpg, Pic3.jpg, and so on.

And if the user clears the picturebox or changes the picture I need the file that was copied to be deleted.

I have little programming experience so I don't know if this is asking a lot but I am eager and willing to learn.

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

My.Computer.FileSystem Object or File Class, there are lots of examples for all IO operations.

John,

Thank you for the links. Extremely useful for me.

However, I am still having trouble trying to understand how to increment the filename each time a pic is saved...any thoughts?

Thanks again for your help.

You could keep a integer counter in your application settings, then add that up for each time and always save to "filename" & my.settings.counter.tostring & ."ext".
