Step 2: Now open your Form1.cs file, where we create our design for Upload Image. We will drag PictureBox, two buttons, two labels and two textboxes from toolbox to Form1.cs. You will see your Form look like this.

Form1.cs [Design]:



Add another form that is Form2.cs to your Project by going to solution explorer- Right Click to your Project, Add New item, select Window Form and Add it.

Form2.cs [Design]:

Here you have to add PictureBox and two Labels from the toolbox to the Form2.cs. Just Like you see in the following image.
