Adding picture boxes dynamically in VB.Net

I'm sure there is someone out there who can explain this clearly.

I would have assumed that I could simply use:

Dim pb As PictureBox

then I could use

pb = New PictureBox

but apparently not.

I would also assume I can set parameters

pb.Width
pb.Height
pb.Top
pb.Left

etc.

If anyone can help me create a picture box dynamically where I can set the properties I would be so grateful, thanks.

I'm also sorry if this question has already been asked, but I have been looking for a few hours now and nothing has worked for me.

In other words, you are trying to add a control to a windows form programmatically. Of course I don't know what you have tried, but I would use:

Dim pb As New PictureBox
pb.Width = 100 'or whatever
pb.Height = 200
pb.Top = 50 'or whatever
pb.Left = 50
pb.ImageLocation = "dog.png"
Me.Controls.Add(pb)
