                }

i will try add some picture in my app Folder but if i send my app to other this folder not exist !

If you already have an image for a default then there doesn't seem much point loading it into a picture box just so you can save it again? — Caius Jard, Jun 12 '20 at 20:58

Set the image in Form_Load using Image.FromFile. This way it will always set the default image when the form is loaded.

private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    pictureBox1.Image = Image.FromFile(@"C:\...");
}

this code not work if i install my app in other pc, in my pc my app in drive D maybe in other pc this app install in drive C – Ali Zangeneh Jun 13 '20 at 17:54
Well, you *can* use Application.StartupPath to know the folder your app is in, so e.g. `Path.Combine(Application.StartupPath, "defaultbackground.png")` then ship defaultbackground.png with your app... – Caius Jard Jun 13 '20 at 19:15
@CaiusJard cant find my Resouce Folder in my app StartupPath – Ali Zangeneh Jun 14 '20 at 00:12
Resources (if you mean what I think you mean) are compiled into the program. I meant just put a PNG file on disk, next to your program you can do that by by adding to your project and setting "build action: content" in its properties – Caius Jard Jun 14 '20 at 05:38
