I've created an ImageList and added a few images to it from various places
on my hard drive.

I can see that the images haven't been copied to my project, or included in
it's resources. Do the images get embedded in binary form as part of the
windows form, part of the project, or does it merely hold references to the
files?

What's required upon deployment? Is it all handled automatically ?

Hi

The image list resources are Base64 encoded and embedded in the resx file
associated with your form (similar to regular resource files). When you
deploy, these resources are already included in your assemblies. Here's a
good snippet of code to rip the images back out of the resx that should give
you a better understanding of how it's stored.

Cheers Brian. That's as I hoped.
