dotnet drawing api: I'm releasing a tool soon that works with GDI+. One of the features is the
ability to import images and produce code. I've identified 4 ways that a
project could get at images.

1) Build action embed
2) Build action content
3) A relative path to the image from the /bin
4) An absolute path to the image

Can anyone think of other ways I'm not thinking of to get at images from
..NET that are used frequently?

You might want to be able to handle resource collections in case someone
builds a collection of images. You can even embed these resource
collections in their own assemblies. Take a look at the Terrarium
application for an example of this in action. It might be interesting to
see a resource packing sheme for layering images inside of an assembly
actually supported. I'm not sure how this scheme works with VS since the
scheme was developed for a command line build environment, but I'm sure
there are some techniques to building resource only assemblies.
