  This exception was originally thrown at this call stack:
    [External Code]
    CGEditor_WinForms.MainWindow.button1_Click(object, System.EventArgs) in MainWindow.cs
    [External Code]
    PlaylistSample.Form1.CgEditorButton_Click(object, System.EventArgs) in Form1.cs
    [External Code]
    PlaylistSample.Program.Main() in Program.cs

What I have tried:

<pre lang="C#">  
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            string imgslideID = "";
            int imgslideposX = 50;
            int imgslideposY = 50;

            timer1.Interval = int.Parse(comboBox1.Text) * 1000;
            
            timer1.Start();
            

                if (m_strImagePath == null || m_strImagePath == string.Empty)
            {

            }
            System.Windows.Forms.FolderBrowserDialog openFolder = new System.Windows.Forms.FolderBrowserDialog();
            //System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult reopenFoldersult = openFolder.ShowDialog();
            if (openFolder.ShowDialog() == System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK)
            {
                m_objEditor.CGObject.AddNewItem(openFolder.SelectedPath, imgslideposX, imgslideposY, 0, 1, ref imgslideID);
                m_objEditor.UpdateItemsList();
                string[] files = Directory.GetFiles(Dirpath, "*.Jpg");
                Dirpath = openFolder.SelectedPath;
                foreach (string file in files)

                {

                    int pos = file.LastIndexOf("||");

                    string FName = file.Substring(pos + 1);

                   

                }

            }
        }

What are the errors and where?

Richard MacCutchan 26-Mar-21 7:26am

Look at the first messages. you are calling some system method and passing a null value instead of a valid path.

Richard MacCutchan 26-Mar-21 8:01am

Well apart from the timer being started I cannot see anything that controls the interval or the display of the images.

Richard MacCutchan 26-Mar-21 8:07am

You need an event handler that is called for every timer tick. See Timer Class (System.Timers) | Microsoft Docs[^] for an example.

Richard MacCutchan 26-Mar-21 8:26am

Yes, can you?

Sorry, I cannot guess what you have done. Please use the Improve question link above and show us the actual code that you are using.

"But show some error" ... "But application show some errors."
But you do not think it important to tell us what those errors are and where they occur?

Quote:

C#

string[] files = Directory.GetFiles(Dirpath, "*.Jpg");

Your Dirpath variable is null.

It's initialized on the following line:

C#

Dirpath = openFolder.SelectedPath;

I suspect you meant to have those two lines the other way round:

C#

Dirpath = openFolder.SelectedPath;
string[] files = Directory.GetFiles(Dirpath, "*.Jpg");

C#

public partial class Form1 : Form
{
    private string[] images;
    private int imageIX;
    private Bitmap MyImage;
    public Form1()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
    }

    private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {

        System.Windows.Forms.FolderBrowserDialog openFolder = new System.Windows.Forms.FolderBrowserDialog();
        if (openFolder.ShowDialog() == System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK)
        {
            string Dirpath = openFolder.SelectedPath;
            images = Directory.GetFiles(Dirpath, "*.Jpg");
            imageIX = 0;
        }
        timer1.Interval = 5000;// int.Parse(comboBox1.Text) * 1000;
        timer1.Start();
    }

    private void timer1_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        // Sets up an image object to be displayed.
        if (MyImage != null)
        {
            MyImage.Dispose();
        }
        MyImage = new Bitmap(images[imageIX]);

        // Stretches the image to fit the pictureBox.
        pictureBox1.SizeMode = PictureBoxSizeMode.StretchImage;
        pictureBox1.Image = (Image)MyImage;
        imageIX++;
        if (imageIX > 10)
            timer1.Stop();
    }
}
