How to give a dynamic file path in Image.Fromfile() in C#?

Question

I want to change an image in WinForms based on a result.

if(x == true)
{
 // Show image 1
else
{
 // show image 2

I saw that I can use Image.Fromfile("Image path"). But I have to use an image path something like this @"C:\test\test1.jpg".

So, is there any way that I can give a dynamic file path?

For example, if I open the project from another computer, this file path might change.

Thank you!

how would you tell the program where the images are stored? At some point, *"where I saved the images"* won't be enough, else if your program can read minds — Cid, Jun 21 '21 at 07:19
Okay, so there isn´t any way to give the file path without hard coding? — Manoj_S, Jun 21 '21 at 07:25
How to give a dynamical file path to an image? Easy, just create a variable, assign the desired value to it, and use it as the path to the image. You should focus in your question to the real problem whatever it is. Distributing files with your application? Getting the path of the executable? I would advice editing your question and providing more details on the actual problem. — Cleptus, Jun 21 '21 at 07:25

If you are using a PictureBox control set the ImageLocation property with the path, example:

pictureBox1.ImageLocation = @"C:\test\test1.jpg"
