How tt handle a custom control in design mode

[Sasuko]

I've created a custom control. I've create a property that allow me in design mode to load an image. I'm not able to save that image in resource file just as visual studio does when i try to load an image as background. Who can help me?

Hi, Here I am sending sample application. After creating new application. From resources.resx desing I added icon (AddResources->AddExistingFile). From resources.resx view code I changed Resources\Alarm161.ico;System.Drawing.Icon to

Resource:

Resources\Alarm161.ico;System.Drawing.Bitmap

Because I want to add bitmap to my Button. From form desing I added one button. In Button1_click(..) event I added this code

Code:

System.Drawing.Bitmap bitmap1 = WindowsApplication1.Properties.Resources.Alarm161; button1.Image = bitmap1;

ok i know it, but the problem that it is manual. Visual Studio to set the background image for the panel doesn't make me to add the bitmap in resource with (AddResources->AddExistingFile), but just load it automaticaly. So how can i do the same?
