Dynamicly created pictureboxes not shown properly

I'm trying to create a simple tilemap of Picture boxes and tried to use this code on stackoverflow to do so:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/23786295/[^]

New winform Project and the only thing that differs is that I load my images from included Resources but only one single picturebox is shown at location 0,0.

Debugging shows that the Picture boxes are created and at different locations so it's not that.

printing this.controls.count shows that the new picture boxes are added.

Not sure what I'm going to use it for, just that I wanted to try it and wants to figure out what went wrong. XD

so how big is your test Image, is it to small?

50x50, as I said one of them shows up (the first) but not the rest. Manually creating picture boxes also shows up fine using the same image.

the code you linked to splits a large Image into many small ones, each containing one part of the Image, so I thought maybe you are just using an Image too small. and all the other pictureboxes are painted with nothing... was just my first thought, sorry for not beeing helpful

Actually you seem to be spot on. Tried using a bigger picture and now it worked. Seems that I misunderstood what the code did. I assumed that it would just take a source image and then use that as a basic tile and fill out an area depending on how many times you looped.

Thanks! If you post it as a solution I'd gladly accept your answer.

I'm glad you solved it, sometimes another pair of eyes helps ;-)
