Image not being displayed

Hello everyone,

The problem with the code below is that pictureBox2 is not displaying the image.

public static void updateImage()
{
Image img;
Form1 myClass = new Form1();
img = myClass.pictureBox1.Image;
myClass.pictureBox2.Image = img;
}

My guess is that it is because I have to create a new instance of the Form1 class. Any suggestions?

Many thanks in advance,

A more efficient version of that code is:

public static void updateImage()
{
Form1 myClass = new Form1();
myClass.pictureBox2.Image = myClass.pictureBox1.Image;
}

Same problem still exists I'm afraid.

that's not enough code to tell you what to do... I'll be guessing:
public static void updateImage()
{
this.pictureBox2.Image = this.pictureBox1.Image;
}

Thanks for the reply memeloo,

However, I get the following error message:

"Keyword 'this' is not valid in a static property, static method, or static field initializer"

Essentially, I am attempting to copy one image and display it in a second pictureBox. What method would be most appropriate for this, as I do not believe it can be done in a 'public static void' method.

I am calling this method by doing the following:

protected static void Connect()
{
Thread newThread = new Thread(new ThreadStart(updateImage));
newThread.Start();}

Many thanks,

this is still not enough and if you don't want us to guess post the whole code.

Is the new Form is getting created in the original parent thread or in the new thread you are calling ?
