Programmatically change jpg in picturebox

I have a simple application in winforms where I need to change the image depending on an if statement. The statement is triggering because other things are also happening. I've looked at the following examples:

Dynamically set Image of a Picturebox in winforms applications?

Change PictureBox's image to image from my resources?

Setting a picture from my Resources programmatically to a PictureBox

and none of these have led me to a solution to why I'm unable to change the image.

Here's what I have tried:

pictureBox1.Image = global::KatReminder.Properties.Resources.angry_orange_cat;

pictureBox1.Refresh();

pictureBox1.Load();

pictureBox1.Image = Image.FromFile(@"\Resources\angry-orange-cat.jpg");

pictureBox1.BackgroundImage = KatReminder.Properties.Resources.angry_orange_cat;

pictureBox1.Refresh();

pictureBox1.Load(@"\Resources\angry-orange-cat.jpg");

In the two examples with files, the full path I'm using has been truncated for this example.

You should try calling pictureBox1.Invalidate(). Usually that works for me when I need to make sure something gets repainted.
