Anyone know what i did wrong in this code or how to fix it?

so im a noob at coding just started yesterday. I bought a visual basic 2010 guide book and i am working on my first example/practis program. I keep getting this error in my code before i go to try to test it out. 'picShowPicture' is not declared. It may be inaccessible due to its protection level'. i have no idead what or how to fix this so i hope someone on here does. Here is a screen shot of the coding and error message.

did you initiate the variable? I am not sure of the command in visualbasic, but in perl you have to use "my" to initiate any variable.

EX:

my $Picture;

TC, its asking for your username and password.

Yea i think initiate in VB is Declare but it doesnt say anything on it in the book yet, so im not sure how.

it says i have to log in to that site to see the picture. i don't trust whatever site that is so i'm not going to sign up. do you think you could find another way to show the image?xTheExploited

[QUOTE="SoBaus"]first rule of asking for help with code... is actually posting the code. not to be rude buts its impossible unless you do.Kyoogre

I think the error message is pretty self explanatory. You have an object that has not been created/declared that you are trying to reference. Place your picture box on your form first.
