[Resolved] Weird Resource File Error
Some of the images I have in my resource file can't be used programmatically. By that I mean I get an error with this simple line of code where pbField is a picture box and TFFieldTurf is a jpeg file:
pbField.BackgroundImage = My.Resources.TFFieldTurf
The error I receive is:
Error 8 'TFFieldTurf1' is a type in 'Resources' and cannot be used as an expression.
How can an actual file be considered a type not an object? Some of my other pics get the same error, but others work just fine. It has nothing to do whether they are jpegs, pngs, or tifs either. If I use the designer to set the background property I get no errors. Only when I write my own code.
What am I missing here?
Thanks in advance.
