What on earth are you on about? a jpeg is a picture. an application is an application, they are two completely different things.

Yes thanks I know. I need to know how to convert the jpeg to an exe so that I can add a button to it so that when the user clicks on the OK button it closes. Or if I cant do that how do I implement a jpeg into a forms or web application so that I can add an ok button to it so that it closes when the user clicks on it. It is like a popup that will display on a web page and when the user clicks on a ok button below it or something like that it should close. That's all I am asking. There is no need to be rude.

Probably the simplest way to do this (if I understand you right) is to create a form with two controls: A PictureBox and a Button.
Set the Image property of the PictureBox to the JPG file, and set the Text property to teh Button to "OK".
Double click the button in the designer, and use this code inside teh hanlder:

C#

Close();

Run your app, and you should see the picture, and the OK button should do what you want.

Thank you very much OriginalGriff. Can I use it if it is going to be used as a pop up on a web page or not. What technology should I then use? A normal windows forms or what type of a web app? Thanks for not being rude.

How is a close button going to work on a web page? :laugh: Close the browser?

Winforms is the easiest for this example, probably.

I also don't know. :) But my requirements if I understand it correctly is it is going to be a pop up on a webpage. It has to have an ok button to close it if the user clicks on the ok button so that the poppup closes. But ill make sure again and let you know. Thanks :)

Ok cool it is not going to run as a popup on a webpage. It is going to run as an exe on its own. So your solution should work. Thanks. 10/10

You're welcome!

How do I auto fit the Image once the app opens? :)

OriginalGriff 22-Aug-14 6:04am

Stretch the Picturebox to the size you want it in the form, and set the Anchor properties to Top, Bottom, Left and Right - that way it will grow and shrink as your form does.
Then, set the SizeMode property to Zoom.
