The PictureBox component has a desingtime "Image" property. You can click
and open an OpenFileDialog to select the path of an image. How is this
being done? Also, you can only browse for the file and cannot type in the
path. Is there a way to allow a manual input as well as browse input?

Thanks,

Frankk

The Image class uses the ImageEditor. I believe it is possible using a
custom TypeConverter to add string conversions functionality from
ImageConverter
