.NET Forum / Windows Forms / Design Time / November 2005incorporating an image at design time
I am working on the C#/Windows Forms project. Currently I am displaying images using Bitmap objects that I create at runtime from .jpg files. It means that I have to distribute all .jpg files with the application. Is there a way to incorporate .jpg images at design time, so I won't have to redistribute them? Gregory Khrapunovich You can add each jpg to your project and set there Build Action to Embedded Resource. This way the jpg will be embedded in the output assembly and you can load each jpg when needed using the GetManifestResourceStream method. Note that this assumes that you're using VS.NET 2003. In VS 2005 you can could use the project properties and the resulting strongly typed resource access that it creates.
