write code on click of preview button: private void button2_Click(object sender EventArgs e) { frmPreview frmPreviewObj = new frmPreview(); frmPreviewObj.setFilename(fname); frmPreviewObj.Show(); frmPreviewObj.Location = new Point(050); } write this property in second form: public void setFilename(string sFile) { pictureBox1.Image = Image.FromFile(sFile); }

The Error Says: fname is a string data type. img is a system.drawing.image type You cannot directly convert a image to string. The Line is the bug: Image img = fname;
