I Can't get a pic loaded onto my web form

Question

I'm new to developing with C# and asp.net. I am trying to laod five images onto my web form I also need to do it code behind and not just drag and drop. I can't get them to work. I have tried:

dicePic[i] =  new System.Web.UI.WebControls.Image();
//dicePic[0] = Image.FromFile(HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("/images/1.gif"));

I also set the properties like this:

dicePic[0].ID = "Dice1";
dicePic[0].Style["position"] = "absolute";
dicePic[0].Style["top"] = "80px";
dicePic[0].Style["left"] = "80px";
dicePic[0].Visible = true;
dicePic[0].Width = 50;
dicePic[0].Height = 50;
dicePic[0].ImageUrl = "~/images/1.gif";//HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("/images/1.gif");
dicePic[0].Controls.Add(dicePic[0]);

Any help would be great. Thanks

Answer 1

replace this line :dicePic[0].Controls.Add(dicePic[0]); by this.Controls.Add(dicePic[0]);

Answer 2

You should add it to a container in your page (or to the page itself).

if you are doing this inside a Page put

this.Controls.Add(dicePic[i]);

after

dicePic[i] =  new System.Web.UI.WebControls.Image();
