using resources for bitmaps on buttons

When creating a button in Forms Designer a dialog box is shown with either local or file import. Whatever I do, the icon is added to the list of resources (tree depending on the solution root in solution explorer).

But when adding new items on the tree I am unable to use it to insert a images... I lack doing something (declaring each resource as embedded, or whatever), what I can't figure out what.

Any idea, please?

thanks

You have to insert the reference for the new image on the Resources.resx file in the properties folder, look at image you added using the desinger and you will get the idea, also, you need to add accessor for it on the Resources.Desinger.cs, to allow the call: Resources.NewImage, learn the syntax in the same way.

thanks, sounds complicated anyway

I have the Solution Explorer, and right click on the Resources Folder, Add Existing Item, and choose several bitmaps. Is it the right way to "store" bitmaps as resources?

If it is, how to assign them to buttons???

thanks
