Array of PictureBox controls

In my form I create a 10 x 10 array of PictureBox controls, like this:

public System.Windows.Forms.PictureBox[,] pBoxArray = new System.Windows.Forms.PictureBox[10,10];

Then later I want to SHOW the images assigned to the PictureBox controls using a nest for loop.

How do I assign each picture box in the array to the Parent Form and make the image show up?

Okay....we are on the right track.

Now I don't understand why only the first image [0,0] is showing:

public void InitPictureBoxArray()
            {
                  for(int i=0;i<10;i++)
                  {
                        for(int j=0;j<10;j++)
                        {
                              pBoxArray[i,j] = new System.Windows.Forms.PictureBox();
                              pBoxArray[i,j].Image = gw.gamePieceArray[i,j].pic_box.Image;
                              this.Controls.Add(pBoxArray[i,j]);
                        }
                  }

            }

try
pBoxArray[i,j].Location=new Point(i*20,j*20);
pBoxArray[i,j].Size=new Size(20,20);

Der...I forgot to set LOCATION of the pBoxArray items.

My current solution (until I tweak it again) L)

public void InitPictureBoxArray()
            {
                  for(int i=0;i<10;i++)
                  {
                        for(int j=0;j<10;j++)
                        {
                              pBoxArray[i,j] = new System.Windows.Forms.PictureBox();
                              pBoxArray[i,j].Image = gw.gamePieceArray[i,j].pic_box.Image;
                              pBoxArray[i,j].Location=new Point(i*32,j*32);
                              pBoxArray[i,j].Size=new Size(32,32);
                              this.Controls.Add(pBoxArray[i,j]);
                        }
                  }

            }
