put a picturebox or an imagecontainer on the form, then select the sourceproperty ot this object and point it to the imagefile of your choice. You can also programatically change the source during execution of the program

Actually if you are using the picturebox or image container, you want to use the 'Picture' property. When you click on it, there should be a little button and click on it and you can browse for the picture.
