HOWTO: Load a bitmap from a resource

[Alejandro Lapeyre]

I am using a ImageList with a bitmap that contains all the images.

I am currently saving the bitmap in a PictureBox, and load into the
ImageList when the form loads.

How can I save the bitmap into a Resource and load it from there later?

Thanks.

Hi,

Here is an example. I added the water lilies.jpg to my app and set
its
build action to embedded resource.
Dim bm As Bitmap

Dim myAsm As System.Reflection.Assembly =
System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly()

bm = New Bitmap(myAsm.GetManifestResourceStream(Me.GetType, "Water
lilies.jpg"))
