Why would you want to terrorize your users in such a way? Typing filenames in a textbox is strictly forbidden as file selection UI. Here are two options:

1. Use a OpenFileDialog for the user to select which image is to be displayed.
2. Use a FolderBrowserDialog for user to select folder, fill a ComboBox with the image filenames for user to select.

Browsing the memberlist of Picturebox class you will find out how to load an image, you will find the Image property with code sample.
