Shapes.AddImage()''C:\Users\Admin\Downloads\top-19-tourist-spots-in-baguio-philippines-burnham-park-camp-john-hay-strawberry-farm-3.avif")
This is my code right now.
Can anyone tell me why this isn't working?

Hello.
I think the Shapes.AddImage(imageName) function takes the name of the image that was loaded by the ImageList.LoadImage(fileNameOrUrl) function, not the path to the image file.
Thus, you should write code like this:

imgName = ImageList.LoadImage("C:\Users\Admin\Downloads\top-19-tourist-spots-in-baguio-philippines-burnham-park-camp-john-hay-strawberry-farm-3.avif")
Shapes.AddImage(imgName)

That's what I think.

I agree with @Absolute Beginner
but also, your code has two syntax errors:

you closing parans before the image path, makes the AddImage method takes zero argument.

You used two apostrophes `` at the start of the path while you should use a quote ". The apostrophe makes the rest of the line just a comment, and this is why you don't get a syntax error about this.

So, the correct syntax is:

Shapes.AddImage("C:\Users\Admin\Downloads\top-19-tourist-spots-in-baguio-philippines-burnham-park-camp-john-hay-strawberry-farm-3.avif")

but this may cause a runtime error as @Absolute Beginner explained. Besides, I don't expect that SB will accept the avif extension, but I didn't try, so it will not hurt if you do.

Note:
I hope this is not just a homework question and you made us solve it for you :)

Hello dear MohammedHamdy-4571.
The note you wrote in your comment made me think again about the events that are happening around us.

Every person on Earth wants to have a good life. But, in nature, the result of labor always depends on how correct the actions of people were.
The events that are now taking place on Earth show that people are behaving very stupidly. This means that if we want to live well, if we want to be alive at all, then first of all we must teach people to think correctly.

I have been living on Earth for 62 years. I have met many people. But, no one ever told me that he was taught to think correctly in any educational institution. Everyone thinks as he can.
A huge number of wrong actions of people gives rise to wars, poverty, environmental disasters. If we do not begin to fight stupidity, then humanity will soon kill itself completely.

That's why I have so much hope for your SVB. Your SVB has the most appropriate syntax structure to help a person learn to think correctly. Objects, their properties and methods are clearly visible there. They are not hidden by hundreds of rules of a professional programming language. It is easier for a simple person to see the main thing: the world consists of objects and their state is a consequence of various reasons.

Maybe then people will begin to think more often about the consequences of their actions and learn to better understand the causes of what is happening.

I have very high hopes for SVB.

@Absolute Beginner
Thanks. I agree with your wisdom.
But Object Oriented Programming (OOP) is way old before sVB. In fact sVB is not a full OOP, and it is more like VB6 (but vb6 can create classes and interfaces). I just tried to make sVB a step on the middle between SB an VB.NET (which is a fully OOP language).
I also notices that many SB users are interested in windows programming using the TextBox an the button controls and their events, which is the modern event-driven programming model, so, sVB will give them the best introduction to Windows Forms and a taste of Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF), the two famous frameworks for crating desktop application in VB.NET and C#.
In short, sVB is just an intermediate stage to help Small Basic lovers to step up to the next level.
Thanks.
