    Question on embedded resources

    Hey. I have several images in my project. I'm wondering which should be embeded resources, and what the differenced between having them as embedded or content is? So far the resources that I use to change into pictureboxes are embedded. What about once that are never changed... should those just be content?

    Thanks
    John

    Embedded resources are part of your executable. Content files are just files. They can be altered or deleted. It's a trade-off between security and executable size. Generally speaking embedded resources would be preferable I think.
