C# how to get a bitmap from a picturebox

I have a image in picturebox. I want to get that image as a Bitmap.

My one line code is:

Bitmap default_image = (Bitmap)pictureBox5.Image.Clone();

But what i am getting is:

default_image value=null;

Can anyone help me.

If you got the image into the PictureBox by using imageLocation

pbSourceImage.ImageLocation = openFile.FileName;

then PictureBox.Image will be null.

Instead, load the picture using

pbSourceImage.Image = Image.FromFile(openFile.FileName);

Then you will be able to clone from the Image property.

This is because you do not have image, probably you have BackgroundImage. You need to have Image properties fill with your picture.

Bitmap default_image = new Bitmap(pictureBox5.Image);

You are never instantiating a Bitmap which is why it is null.
