  </data>

This is base64 equivalent of 3 icons.

these are loaded in codebehind using the following code
this.imageList1.ImageStream = ((System.Windows.Forms.ImageListStreamer)(resources.GetObject("imageList1.ImageStream");<br/>
this.imageList1.TransparentColor = System.Drawing.Color.Transparent;
this.imageList1.Images.SetKeyName(0, "UnChecked.ico");
this.imageList1.Images.SetKeyName(1, "Checked.ico");
this.imageList1.Images.SetKeyName(2, "Indeterminated.ico");


Now i wanted to replace these images with my own images.anyone please post a step by step process by which i can generate Base64 of my images and replace it with my images.

Hi PhaniBitra,

If you already have image files, the following way is recommended to take.
1. Double click the "Resources.resx" under the Properties node of your project.
2. Click the "Add Resource" drop down button and choose "Add Existing Files...", you can select the file you need.
3. In your code, add these images to the ImageList like this.
ImageList imgList = new ImageList();
Image image = WindowsFormsApplication1.Properties.Resources.Image1;
imgList.Images.Add(image);
WindowsFormsApplication1 is your project namespace, Image1 is the image you have just added.

If you have anything unclear, please feel free to tell me.

Sincerely,
Kira Qian

Thanks, this helped me a lot, but then how can we embed images into .resx file in Base64 encoding as i shown in the above sample code
PhaniBitra  Tuesday, April 14, 2009 9:02 AM

Hi PhaniBitra,

You can convert it to image and save it as a file first, then use add existing file. Look at this example.
