Background image from embedded resource

[Peter Zentner]

Hi,

I have a bitmap as an embedded resource. Now I want to use that bitmap for a
background image of a button. But if I do the following it doesn't work.

<snap start>
Dim s As System.IO.Stream =
Me.GetType().Assembly.GetManifestResourceStream("W indowsApplication1.Bitmap1
..bmp")
Dim bmp as bitmap = New Bitmap(s)
s.Close()
Dim img As Image = bmp
Button1.BackgroundImage = bmp
<snap end>

What am I doing wrong?

TIA

I found the error: I must not close the stream and I have to do the
following:

Dim s as System.IO.Stream =
Me.GetType().Assembly.GetManifestResourceStream("W indowsApplication1.Bitmap1
..bmp")
Button1.BackgroundImage = new Bitmap(s)

That's all.
