Well, which assembly are you trying to get hold of?

You're likely to find that typeof(...).Assembly is what you're after,
but you need to know a type within the assembly in order to use
typeof.

this shoud be an assembly of a Form i guess, u see i'm in the middle
of a project in witch we are at work of creating a program for
automatic converting our delphi coded program to C# coded progran
in .NET so this function is a general functiion that works in delphi
and i'm looking for a prallel way in c# so i'm not sure about the type
but i guess it should be a Form so thanks for the help

Well it's likely to be a *particular* form, rather than just the Form
type, unless you really want to get a resource from the
System.Windows.Forms assembly.

i think this one should is fine ,
IntPtr HINSTANCE =
Marshal.GetHINSTANCE(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetType().Module);
but i dont understand what the type got to do with this and how is the
module referenced from it,

To be honest, I think you're going about things the wrong way. Getting
a Bitmap from an assembly resource is usually a lot easier than this,
usually using the ResourceManager class, or using Bitmap.FromStream by
providing it with the result of a call to
Assembly.GetManifestResourceStream.
