hello ahmed,\
\
you can use the easy code given below:\
\

```
string path = Path.Combine("D:\\Images", textBox1.Text) + ".jpg";if (File.Exists(path))       pictureBox1.Image = Image.FromFile(Path.Combine("D:\\Images", textBox1.Text) + ".jpg");else{        pictureBox1.Image = null;        MessageBox.Show("File not exist");}
```

Thank you for reply\
i apply the code as above but remaining some points needed :\
using System;\
using System.Collections.Generic;\
using System.ComponentModel;\
using System.Data;\
using System.Drawing;\
using System.Linq;\
using System.Text;\
using System.Windows.Forms;\
using System.Data.SqlClient;\
using System.Drawing.Imaging;\
using System.IO;\
\
namespace FleetManagment\
{\
{\
FleetManagment.Fleet fleet2 = new FleetManagment.Fleet();\
private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)\
{\
try\
{\
string[] fileNames = Directory.GetFiles("D:\\Images");\
foreach (string file in fileNames)\
{\
\
if (file.Contains(textBox1.Text))\
{\
pictureBox1.Image = Image.FromFile(Path.Combine("D:\\Images", textBox1.Text) + ".jpg");\
}\
else\
{\
MessageBox.Show("File not exist");\
}\
}\
}\
catch (Exception ex)\
{\
MessageBox.Show(ex.ToString ());\
}\
\
}\
}\
}\
The code above is get picture from local machine and work successfully what i need is :\
1- get image from server 192.168.1.10 in folder path D:/images\
2-if folder images not have image written in textbox and press\

Hello ahmed,\
\
You can achieve this task by using following code:\
\
if (System.IO.File.Exists(Request.MapPath("~/images/" + textBox1.Text + ".jpg")))\
{\
//set the found image\
}\
else\
{\
//set the default image\
}\
\
System.IO.File.Exists(Request.MapPath("~/images/" + textBox1.Text + ".jpg"))\
The above line helps you to find image.\
\
I think this will help you otherwise you can post your reply if something found not working or missing.
