Create a dll of accessible images [Resolved]

[Ferris]

Hi all,

I want to create an exe that uses images (replaces some, removes some, adds some etc). But what I don't want to do is to have these images in a folder structure so that any tom dick or harry can come along and delete them, move them or otherwise bum out my app.

So what I thought would be good was to package them into a dll that i can then reference in my app and then use them straight from the dll.

Or is there a way i can "store" them in the form somehow?

Any ideas how I would achieve this as google is not playing ball.

Thanks

Add the images to your solution. Right click on them, go to properties, and set their build type (I think) to embedded resource.

Then read this

That's exactly what I was looking for!

Thanks very much.
