Question

I have a folder. With folders. With files (mainly .pngs).

For learning purposes, I am trying to create an application that will take that folder and “compile” it in one single data file. Like a .bin. The point is, the user can’t see or edit the images… easily.

And in the future, my application can open such data file and read the folder’s contents, and also display the images found within the folder (using Image.fromFile(“pathForTheFile”) or something like that).

Is that possible? Is it possible to “encrypt” or “compile” folders/images or even audio into one file and re-read it in a future using VB.NET?
