Exceptions

Exception Condition
ArgumentNullException

The name or range argument is nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic), or the name argument has zero length.
ControlNameAlreadyExistsException

A control with the same name is already in the ControlCollection instance.
InvalidRangeException

The range that was specified is not valid. Multi-area ranges cannot be used. The range should be on the same worksheet as the ControlCollection instance.

Remarks

The AddPictureBox method enables you to add PictureBox objects to the end of the ControlCollection. To remove a PictureBox that was previously added programmatically, use the Remove method.

The control automatically resizes when the range is resized.

Examples

The following code example adds a PictureBox control to cells A1 through C12, and then adds an image. The example assumes a file named Image.jpg exists at the root of the C directory.

Private Sub ExcelRangeAddPictureBox()

    Dim PictureBox1 As Microsoft.Office.Tools. _
        Excel.Controls.PictureBox = Me.Controls. _
        AddPictureBox(Me.Range("A1", "C12"), _
        "PictureBox1")

    PictureBox1.Image = System.Drawing.Image. _
        FromFile("C:\Image.jpg")

End Sub

private void ExcelRangeAddPictureBox()
{

    Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.Controls.PictureBox
         pictureBox1 = this.Controls.AddPictureBox(
         this.Range["A1", "C12"], "pictureBox1");
    pictureBox1.Image = System.Drawing.Image.FromFile(
        "C:\\Image.jpg");
}
