I have an assembly which contains some base forms from which all others are inherited. In my application (which inherits these forms) I would like to provide a resource which the base forms assembly accesses directly and loads the appropriate image (predefined names in the resource file). I've looked at the help on .resources files etc, but am lost - am struggling to even create a .resources file with images in it - the .resx editor in VS seems to only allow plain text. Any help or samples would be appreciated. Cheers, Dino --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).
