Hi Progload! I was not able to open th eproject with vs 2005. Here is my method but I am started getting an eror message which I haven't solved it... Do you have any idea what is causing that? Thanks!:doh: ERROR MESSAGE IS :: MissingManifestResource Exception Could not find any resources appropriate for the specified culture (or the neutral culture) on disk. baseName: Resources1.resx locationInfo: fileName: Resources1.resx.resources My Code is:: Dim rm as ResourceManager rm = ResourceManager.CreateFileBasedResourceManager("Resources1.resx", ".", Nothing) PB_Mic.Image = rm.GetObject("epa_mic_in.gif")

Sorry, I don't have VS2005 yet, I believe that code was for VS2003. Maybe someone with VS2005 can help you. Sorry, progload

Dragging the resource from the pane into your code inserts the location (it does on my VS05) -- modified at 18:19 Sunday 19th March, 2006

I'm assuming you're using VB.NET 2005. If you have the Application Framework turned on in your project (double-click My Project, Application tab), then it's pretty easy. Click on the Resrouces tab in My Project. Acrossed the top of the Resources window, the far left icon picks what type of resources are going to be listed in the window. The second one is, of course, Add Resource. Click on the drop-down arrow next to it, then pick Add Existing File. Pick the file has the image you want to add. Done! The image will be added to the window with the resource name under the image. You can rename it if you want to, you'll be using this name to refer to the image in your code. Close the My Project window and save changes. For an example, say I've added a .JPG with the resource name Sample. Now, in your code, all you have to do to, say, assign this image to a picturebox is:

PictureBox1.Image = My.Resources.Sample
