Image Slider in windows app

Question

I am working on a windows form application.

I want a image slider to be displayed at the bottom of my windows application, something like this:

Image paths would be grabbed from a DB. Any idea how to implement this?
Thanks in advance :)

I don't know if you want a slider that shows only one picture at a time or more, but you can adapt the code if you need the latter.

private void showImage(string path)
{
    Image imgtemp = Image.FromFile(path);
    pictureBox1.Width = imgtemp.Width / 2;
    pictureBox1.Height = imgtemp.Height / 2;
    pictureBox1.Image = imgtemp;
}

If you want it to work only on an automated mode, use only one method:

private void prevImage()
{
    if(selected == 0)
    {
        selected = folderFile.Length - 1;
        showImage(folderFile[selected]); 
    }
    else
    {
        selected = selected - 1; showImage(folderFile[selected]);
    }
}

private void nextImage()
{
    if(selected == folderFile.Length - 1)
    {
        selected = 0; 
        showImage(folderFile[selected]);
    }
    else
    {
        selected = selected + 1; showImage(folderFile[selected]);
    }
}

Now the timer and the start slideshow button:

private void timer1_Tick(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{ 
    nextImage();
}

private void Start_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
    if(timer1.Enabled == true)
    { 
        timer1.Enabled = false;
        Start.Text = "<< START Slide Show >>";
    }
    else
    {
        timer1.Enabled = true;
        Start.Text = "<< STOP Slide Show >>";
    }
}

From here . However, if you need something more than this you can read check ImageSlider from devexpress .
