[RESOLVED] Help Using Resources

[mouse88]

When adding resources into my project can anyone advise what difference it makes if I choose to copy them to the output directory?

If they're copied to the output directory then they're not resources. The whole point of a resource is that it's compiled into the assembly. Do you actually mean a "reference" rather than a "resource"?

No I am talking about resources. For example my app has many iamges which i have added as resources. If i publish the project and install it on another computer will that computer need to have those images or will this be included in the setup file?

[jmcilhinney]

Like I said, the whole point of resources is that they are compiled into the assembly itself. All you need is the EXE, at least with respect to those resources. They are part of the EXE itself.
