displaying picture from file

Ok, i need to be able to display a picture in an 'image', but i need it to be able to change when a file name for the picture is read in from a seperate text file. I have treid a few things, but it has left me confused. Can anyone help me?

How about showing what you have tried.

i have tried the following (i am doing this off the top of my head at school, so the code could be wrong):

image1.picture = "c:\program files\ etc etc" which didnt work (obviously).

i have also put like 10 image boxes in and just changed the .visible property for each to display each file, but this is really really dodgy, as u can imagine.

What i want to know: Is there any way to read in a file name of a picture from a file, and use that file name to load a picture to an image or picture box?

This is the first time i have really used images etc, i usually just do calculations and formulas etc....any help would be greatly appreciated.

USe the loadpicture Method:
Image1.Picture = LoadPicture("C:\1.jpg")
