You must specify the full path of the resource file as the name of  image within the resources of your application  see example below       Private Sub Button1 Click ByVal sender As System Object  ByVal e As System EventArgs  Handles Button1 Click     PictureBox1 Image   My Resources Chrysanthemum End Sub   In the path assigned to the Image property after MyResources specify the name of the resource   But before you do whatever you have to import in the resource section of your application from an image file exists or it can create your own   Bye

Ken has the right solution  but you don t want to add the picturebox Image Load   member method   If you do it with a Load and the ImageLocation is not set  it will fail with a  Image Location must be set  exception   If you use the picturebox Refresh   member method  it works without the exception   Completed code below   public void showAnimatedPictureBox PictureBox thePicture                thePicture Image   Properties Resources hamster              thePicture Refresh                thePicture Visible   true      It is invoked as      showAnimatedPictureBox  myPictureBox     My XAML looks like        lt Window         xmlns  http   schemas microsoft com winfx 2006 xaml presentation          xmlns x  http   schemas microsoft com winfx 2006 xaml          xmlns wfi  clr-namespace System Windows Forms Integration assembly WindowsFormsIntegration          xmlns winForms  clr-namespace System Windows Forms assembly System Windows Forms          xmlns d  http   schemas microsoft com expression blend 2008  xmlns mc  http   schemas openxmlformats org markup-compatibility 2006  mc Ignorable  d  x Class  myApp MainWindow          Title  myApp  Height  679 079  Width  986  gt            lt StackPanel Width  136  Height  Auto  Background  WhiteSmoke  x Name  statusPanel  gt               lt wfi WindowsFormsHost gt                   lt winForms PictureBox x Name  myPictureBox  gt                   lt  winForms PictureBox gt               lt  wfi WindowsFormsHost gt               lt Label x Name  myLabel  Content  myLabel  Margin  10 3 10 5  FontSize  20  FontWeight  Bold  Visibility  Hidden   gt           lt  StackPanel gt   lt  Window gt    I realize this is an old post  but loading the image directly from a resource is was extremely unclear on Microsoft s site  and this was the  partial  solution I came to   Hope it helps someone
