C# ImageList won't display images

I've been trying to figure out why my imageList won't render out my images when my form runs, I am using the following code...

public void renderImageList()
    {
        int selection = cboSelectedLeague.SelectedIndex;
        League whichLeague = (League)frmMainMenu.allLeagues[selection];


        string index = cboSelectedLeague.SelectedItem.ToString();

        if (whichLeague.getLeagueName() == index)
        {
            foreach (Team t in allTeams)
            {
                Image teamIcon = Image.FromFile(@"../logos/" + t.getTeamLogo());

                imgLstIcons.Images.Add(teamIcon);

            }

        }

        else
        {
            MessageBox.Show("Something went wrong..." + whichLeague.getLeagueName() + " " + index + ".");
        }

    }

The method is fired when the user changes the index of my combo box, I know the program gets the correct path as I used a message box to display the path each path returned as I expected it to.

Am I missing something from my code to draw the image to the box?

Alex.

After adding all images to the ImageList, you should add all the items to the ListView as well:

for (int j = 0; j < imgLstIcons.Images.Count; j++)
{
    ListViewItem item = new ListViewItem();
    item.ImageIndex = j;
    lstView.Items.Add(item);
}

You can also use a FlowLayoutPanel and dynamically create PictureBox elements, one for each Image, and not use ImageLists and ListViews at all. It depends on the type of UI you want.
