title: C# - Loading images into a imagelist and listview
body: <p>I have gotten a program Im working on to load some pictures and display them within a listview after using a openfiledialog. What I am looking to do now is take this one step further and auto-load the images from a directory 'icons' within the application directory. Im not too sure how to go about it, So Im going to paste my current code here, and work it from there...</p>
  
  <pre><code>private void loadImageLibraryToolStripMenuItem_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
      {
          openFileDialog1.Multiselect = true;
          if (openFileDialog1.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
          {
              if (openFileDialog1.FileNames != null)
              {
                  for (int i = 0; i &lt; openFileDialog1.FileNames.Length; i++)
                  {
                      addImage(openFileDialog1.FileNames[i]);
                  }
              }
              else
                  addImage(openFileDialog1.FileName);
          }
      }
  
      private void addImage(string imageToLoad)
      {
          if (imageToLoad != "")
          {
              imageList1.Images.Add(Image.FromFile(imageToLoad));
              listView1.BeginUpdate();
              listView1.Items.Add(imageToLoad, baseValue++);
              listView1.EndUpdate();
          }
       }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Edit to Clarify: The code provided shows how to load and show the images in a listview control. What Im looking to do now is upon starting the app, load the images automatically from a folder in the programs directory, and then display them in the listview. </p>
