In my window application I change image of button when click. I save data in text file using SaveFileDialog. After save data in text file when I click my button it well generate error like this:"File not found Exception was caught". If file not found then I will not change image before save data in text file. I use this code at button click event for image change:

C#

btn_Stop.Image = Bitmap.FromFile("..\\Image\\btn_Stop.Image.jpg");
btn_Start.Image = Bitmap.FromFile("..\\Image\\btn_Start.red.jpg");

Solution 1

You really do not want to use a relative path here - it is just that: relative to the current location.

If you store these images in a directory below the location where the application resides, then specify that folder absolutely:

C#

btn_Stop.Image = Bitmap.FromFile(Application.StartupPath + "\\Image\\btn_Stop.Image.jpg");
btn_Start.Image = Bitmap.FromFile(Application.StartupPath + "\\Image\\btn_Start.red.jpg");

Adding to that: Doesn't "\\directory\\file.ext" means that the path is relative to the root of the current drive? If we want to have a relative path shouldn't we use ".\\directory\\file.ext"?
