Here's a step-by-step breakdown of how to implement this: 1. Set up your form: Add a PictureBox control to your form. Add two Button controls, one for "Next" and one for "Back". Add a Label control to display the current image index (optional). 2. Declare variables: private List images = new List (); private int currentImageIndex = 0; Load images into the collection: You can load images from files, resources, or a database. Example using file paths: private void LoadImagesFromPaths(string[] filePaths) { foreach (string filePath in filePaths) { try { images.Add(Image.FromFile(filePath)); } catch (Exception ex) { MessageBox.Show($"Error loading image: {ex.Message}"); } } DisplayImage(); // Display the first image } Example loading from resources. private void LoadImagesFromResources() { images.Add(Properties.Resources.Image1); images.Add(Properties.Resources.Image2); // Add more images as needed DisplayImage(); } 4. Display the image: Use PictureBox private void DisplayImage() { if (images.Count > 0) { pictureBox1.Image = images[currentImageIndex]; label1.Text = $"Image {currentImageIndex + 1} of {images.Count}"; // Update label } else { pictureBox1.Image = null; // Or a default image label1.Text = "No images loaded"; } } 5. Implement Next/Back button logic: private void NextButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { if (images.Count > 0) { currentImageIndex = (currentImageIndex + 1) % images.Count; // Wrap around DisplayImage(); } } Use similar code ofr Back button as well.
