Creating numerous PictureBoxes by code - only one is visible

Question

I am trying to draw lots of instances of an image using the following code:

PictureBox[] sprites = new PictureBox[100];

private void Game_Load(object sender, Ev         


        

Answer 1

You're only actually creating one instance of PictureBox:

PictureBox mainSprite = new PictureBox();

...

for(var i = 0; i < sprites.Length; i++)
{
    sprites[i] = mainSprite;

Your array will have lots of reference to the same object. You should create a new PictureBox on each iteration of the loop:

for(var i = 0; i < sprites.Length; i++)
{
    PictureBox mainSprite = new PictureBox();
    mainSprite.Size = new Size(16, 16);
    mainSprite.Image = img;
    sprites[i] = mainSprite;
    ...
}
