How do I retrieve an image from my resx file?

Question

I have added an image to my form's resource file, myForm.resx, and I would like to use it in my code file, myForm.cs, but I am not entirely clear on how to get a handle to it.

Answer 1

You can just use Visual Studio to add it (Project, Properties, Resources, Add existing file), and then access it by name:

   Bitmap bmp = Properties.Resources.<name_you_gave_it>;
