    Private Sub ExcelAddPictureBox()

        Dim PictureBox1 As Microsoft.Office.Tools. _
            Excel.Controls.PictureBox = Me.Controls. _
            AddPictureBox(0, 0, 150, 150, "PictureBox1")

        PictureBox1.Image = System.Drawing.Image. _
            FromFile("C:\Image.jpg")

    End Sub

private void ExcelAddPictureBox()
{

    Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.Controls.PictureBox
         pictureBox1 = this.Controls.AddPictureBox(
         0, 0, 150, 150, "pictureBox1");
    pictureBox1.Image = System.Drawing.Image.FromFile(
        "C:\\Image.jpg");
