You're in the
c#
group:ImageList for high-resolution images??
c#:
Is there some way I can save images (bigger than 16x16 pixels) so they don't
reside as physical files on the HDD? I'm working on a screensaver but I want to include all my images in my executable instead of having them reside in the hard disk. Since I use a pictureBox and the image comes from a file at runtime (eg. pictureBox1.Image = Image.FromFile (path); ), more computer-literate users can delete the image, copy another image with the same name, and view the new image. And I want to avoid that. Thanks, Vaughn
You can embed images as resources in your assembly.
/res:ImageFile.bmp Then you can grab the resource stream using Assembly.GetManifestResourceStream(...) and reconstruct your bitmaps in memory. -- Justin Rogers DigiTec Web Consultants, LLC.

Thanks for the reply.
I have framework v1.0 . Would it work with this version also? Since this is the first time I work with images, I'm not sure how to embed the image into my project as resources. I also don't know how to set the Build Action to "Embedded resource".

Hi,
Include the images in the project. Set the "Build action" (file property) to "Embedded resource" and use "Assembly.GetManifestResourceStream()" to fetch the image runtime.

Thanks for the info. I was able to add it.
But once I add it, how can I access it? The name of the image in the solution is test.jpg and I want to use it as the image for a pictureBox control (eg. pictureBox1.Image = test.jpg;).

It will work with 1.0 but I strongly reccommend that you upgrade to 1.1 as
soon as possible. Add the bitmap object to your solution and then select "Build action"="Embedded Resource" in the properties pane. -- Bob Powell [MVP] Visual C#, System.Drawing All you ever wanted to know about ListView custom drawing is in Well Formed. http://www.bobpowell.net/currentissue.htm Answer those GDI+ questions with the GDI+ FAQ http://www.bobpowell.net/gdiplus_faq.htm Read my Blog at http://bobpowelldotnet.blogspot.com [quoted text, click to view] "Vaughn" <vonchi_m@yahoo.com> wrote in message news:OTS0wrJIEHA.828@TK2MSFTNGP12.phx.gbl... > Thanks for the reply. > I have framework v1.0 .

Hi,
I found an article explaining how to use these resources in C#. And it's looking pretty good. http://www.devhood.com/tutorials/tutorial_details.aspx?tutorial_id=75 Thanks, Vaughn [quoted text, click to view] "Vaughn" <vonchi_m@yahoo.com> wrote in message news:%23PXAT2PIEHA.2556@TK2MSFTNGP12.phx.gbl... > Thanks for the info.
