How can i point to a default image in my C# application

I have a default image i want to use in C# application

I stored the default image in c:\crystal\images\defaultimage.png

I am trying to point to it in my application as my default image but

somehow pointing to the file with pbxPhoto.Image = ("C:\Crystal\Images\defaultimage.png");

gives a syntax error (see attached)

Please note that i am getting the error in the code even before running

If you look at the attached file you will see the slash character between the folders

being flagged.

This is more like a syntax error and of course i cant run with the error

either use your appsettings or copy the image to your source directory and then use a relative path from there

I have tried both options with the 2 statements

pbxPhoto.Image = Image.FromFile("C:\\Crystal\\Images\\defaultimage.png");
pbxPhoto.Image = Image.FromFile(@"C:\Crystal\Images\defaultimage.png");

I got the same error File not Found (see attached)

Even though the file exists.

What could I be doing wrong

Thanks for the effort.
I would have loved to listen to the UTube video but there is no voice
