2.6. Using Visual Programming to Create a Simple Program that Displays Text and an Image

In this section, we create a program that displays the text “Welcome to Visual Basic!” and an image of the Deitel & Associates bug mascot. The program consists of a single form that uses a Label and a PictureBox. Figure 2.27 shows the result of the program as it executes.

Please read the Before You Begin section of the Preface to ensure that you install the examples correctly on your computer.
