Res Files in VB.Net

[rcam]

In a vb 6 program I wrote, I stored many bitmap images in a res file. I used the picture1.picture = LoadResPicture(101, 0) code snippet to add picture 101 into a picture box. It worked great-----HOWEVER --when I upgraded to VB.Net I the code didn't work any suggestions.

Thanks

try this

PictureBox1.Image.FromFile("c:\myimage.xxx")

Resource files are handled a bit different in .NET you have to run a sample project that comes with VS.NET for a Resource File maker type program. Then you can put whatever you want in the resource file and can either compile it into the exe or access from within the same directory. Try searching the net for a tutorial or if you get stuck post again.

Thanks for the quick reply---I'm looking at the .Net sample programs now and hopefully I can figure out my problems from that.
