Find an image in a resource file by name

Don't know if this helps, but this is how I get an icon file from my
resource file. I would imaging for an image it will be very similar,
probably only have to cast to a (Bitmap) instead of an (Icon).

Resx File: ProgramResources.resx

C# 2 Code:
*******************************************
using System.Resources;
using System.Reflection;

ResourceManager rm = new ResourceManager(
"YourProgramName.ProgramResources",
Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly());

Program.NotifyIcon.Icon =
(Icon)rm.GetObject("my_icon_name");
*******************************************

here is my sample code using in a Winform App:

ResourceManager rm = new ResourceManager("ResourceReader.MyResource",
Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly());
resBox.Image = rm.GetObject("dotnet_logo") as Image;
rm.ReleaseAllResources();
