if you want a GUI or the ability to display images you need to learn a gui library like GTK or Qt
stay the fuck away from .net

edit: actually I might be wrong
dunno how C# works

Select the picture box. On the properties panel (usually in the bottom right), you'll see an icon that looks similar to a thunder bolt (events). On the list of events, I believe you want to double click the OnMouseHover event. It'll create the event for you, and you can (via code) change what image the picture box shows.

Nothing is wrong with .NET especially with the introduction of mono

Except using .Net, it's is way easier to make UIs.

Although I would recommend WPF over Windows Forms for these reasons:
- UI scaling works better
- Animations are easier
- You can easily use MVVM to reduce the amount of coupled code you have to write

The disadvantages:
- No open/save file dialogs (I usually reference Windows Forms for this)
- You either have to use different classes for images, or have to convert
- Mono doesn't support it (but IMO this doesn't matter too much since the majority of people use Windows anyway, and the benefits outweigh this disadvantage)

WPF is amazing and built into Visual a Studio but is a lot more difficult to conceptualize and properly use. I wouldn't recommend you jump into yet at the moment.

OP, if you're in college you can get this for free. However, (and I may be wrong) you seem younger and may need to go the way of pirates, but I strongly encourage you to use resharper. It's an amazing plugin that will pay off in the long run if you learn how to properly use it.
