If I click the picture box, I open the files and if you select the photo, it happens. When I choose google chrome it does not work. I use the following code.

OpenFileDialog dosya2 = new OpenFileDialog();
dosya2.Filter = "All files|";
dosya2.ShowDialog();
string DosyaYolu2 = dosya2.FileName;
PictureBox1.Image = DosyaYolu2;

If you have a question then use the red "Ask a Question" link at the top of this page. Alternatively, you could comment on Solution 1 by using the "Have a Question or Comment?" link next to it.
Either way, do not post questions nor comments as a "Solution" to another post

I just discovered the site, I did not know, I apologize and I expect your help for questions

Because you are passing a string (the filename) to the PictureBox, instead of the contents of the file. To do it correctly see PictureBox.Image Property (System.Windows.Forms) | Microsoft Docs[^].

I did not understand the microsoft site when I looked PictureBox1.Image = FilePath2; how do i do instead of this code

You cannot pass a string to a PictureBox, it has no meaning. You must create a valid Image object from the file which you then pass to the PictureBox for rendering to the display. Look at the documentation for the Image class to see how to do it.

You can get an Icon instance of said icon using Icon.ExtractAssociatedIcon[^], with the file path of the executable as argument (if it's your own executable, this file path is in Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location with Assembly in System.Reflection).

To put it in the PictureBox, you'll have to convert it to a Bitmap using Bitmap.FromHicon[^] (usage: Bitmap.FromHicon(yourIcon.Handle) where yourIcon is the result of ExtractAssociatedIcon).
