Images Built in into my Control ?????

[maged]

Hi all,

i am building a control that is used to enhance some user interface. my project of course outputs DLL file that i use in other .net projects.

Anyway, this control have a property to select the image i want to enhance. i need to set this property to a default image. so if user didn't select anything there will be inside it a ready small icon.

well, i have managed to load this image from application.startuppath in the initialization sub of the control ( sub New)

it works fine, But....... i need to copy both the DLL file and the image file used as default so my control will work.

i need i way to compile this icon inside my DLL in a way that i can call it internally from inside my code.

( ALL packed inside one file i mean)

can any1 help in this ????

thx & BS TRGDS

You can store the default image as embedded resource then you can load it like this :
