This works for me:
private Bitmap GetEmbededBitmap( string sFilename )
{
Assembly oThisAsm =
Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly();
string sResourceName =
oThisAsm.FullName.Split(',')[0];
sResourceName += ".";
sResourceName += sFilename;
return( new Bitmap(
oThisAsm.GetManifestResourceStream(sResourceName) ) );
}
Make sure you are using System.Reflection
Good luck!

Subject: [DOTNET] embed bitmap
Hello guys.
well I want to include a bitmap in a c# windows app. I've just checked
the book programming windows wicth c# and the writer says that the only
things one must do is change the properties of the file for
embededresource and then load the bitmap using something like this:
Bitmap b = new Bitmap( GetType(), "Bitmap1.bmp"); //in this case i have
removed the resource namespace of the project.
however, when I run the app i get an exception saying that the resource
can't be found.
so, what am i doing wrong?
TIA.
Regards,
Luis Abreu
