Solution 1

Try this :

C#

            string path = String.Empty;

            OpenFileDialog openfilwdilog1= new OpenFileDialog();
            if (openfilwdilog1.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
            {
                path = openfilwdilog1.FileName;
            }

//            Image img = new Bitmap(path);

            panel1.BackgroundImage = Image.FromFile(path);
