Problem refreshing picture box

[lion8420]

I have tried numerous solutions to this problem but I think I am missing something at the fundamental level.

I have a picture box that does not have an image displayed.

You click the box which opens a second form for selection and cropping of an image.
The second form sets a property for the location of the saved image file.

You close the second form and load the image into the original picturebox.
The image is there but it requires you to click on the picture box to display it. It needs to be refreshed but when I call picturebox.refresh or form.refresh nothing happens.

I really don't know what to do at this point. I would like the picture box to refresh with out requiring a click

Thanks

Private Sub picProfile_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles picProfile.Click
Dim imageform As New PicForm
imageform.Show()
loadImage()
End Sub

Private Sub loadImage()
If AccessImageLoc <> "" Then
Dim LdImage As Image
LdImage = Image.FromFile(AccessImageLoc)
picProfile.Image = LdImage
LdImage.Dispose()

End If
End Sub

I left out the picProfile.refresh because it had no effect

What's the AccessImageLoc? An OpenDialog or a string?

 

[lion8420]

its a string that is populated from inside the imageform

 

[SaketJoshi]

how did you declare it?
dim AccessImageLoc as string
OR
public Access... as string (in a module)

 

[lion8420]

It is a private string variable declared in a module that is interacted with by way of a get/set property

 

[SaketJoshi]

Paste the code for the module

Well I solved the problem but honestly I have tried so many things and drank so much AMP I don't actually know what fixed it.
