Speed up retrieve image into picturebox

May 30 2017 10:13 PM
I'm currently working on windows form application which allow user to retrieve image after searching at textbox. The problem is the image is load very slow. How can I overcome this problem to speed up the loading? If anyone has suggestions for a faster way to retrieve these images, it would be greatly appreciated. Here is my code:
 
  1. string baseFolder = @"\\\\jun01\\hr\\photo";  
  2.   string imgName =  "*" + textBoxEmplNo.Text  + "*.jpg";  
  3.   
  4.   //Bool to see if file is found after checking all  
  5.   bool fileFound = false;  
  6.   
  7.   DirectoryInfo di = new DirectoryInfo(baseFolder);  
  8.   foreach (var file in di.GetFiles(imgName, SearchOption.AllDirectories))  
  9.   
  10.    {  
  11.     pictureBox1.Visible = true;  
  12.     pictureBox1.Image = Image.FromFile(file.FullName);  
  13.   
  14.     fileFound = true;  
  15.     break;  
  16.    }  
  17.   
  18.     if (!fileFound)  
  19.    {  
  20.     pictureBox1.Visible = true;  
  21.     pictureBox1.Image = Image.FromFile(@"\\\\jun01\\hr\\photo\\No-image-  
  22.     found.jpg");  
  23.    }
