What would be a good way to add image files to my solution

[Franky]

I have a solution in which the menu items have no images.

I want to add them.

Having never done this before, nor explicitly add any resources, I'm
wondering the best way to do that.

So I download a few example solutions to see how other do it but really
didn't find what I needed.

One solution seemed to contain something I liked.

It had a folder called "Resources" in which all the images were stored.

However, I expected the images' Action property would be "Embedded Resource"
but it was not. Of course I do not know if it would be desirable to use
"Embedded Resource" .

So I'm asking, what would be a good way to go about adding image files to my
solution and then using them in my menus?
Thanks

I have 4 big VS2003 books but none give any help on this subject.

Hi Franky,

In VS2005 you can add resources with the following steps:
Right click on Project file --Select 'Properties' --Select tab
'Resources' --Select 'Add Resource' --Select 'Add existing file'
--Choose image file
The image should now be a resource of your project.
I don't know if it's the same in VS2003, but maybe this helps...

I'm glad I asked. I wasn't even close.

Thanks

PS
I have VS2005, my books are for VS2003
