Question

I have a game application in Visual Studio 2012 C#. I have all the .png images I am using in the Resources file of the project.

Have you any idea why I can access all the files but one by using Properties.Resources?

I checked the full filePath and it’s set to the resources folder. And it’s added in the program as I did Add -> Existing Item and added the image.

It looks just like the other images. I have no idea why it’s not loading. I need this since I need to send a .exe by email to my lecturer and without this image the project is nothing!

I added this in the resource file

internal static System.Drawing.Bitmap grid_fw {
            get
            {
                object obj = ResourceManager.GetObject("grid.fw", resourceCulture);
                return ((System.Drawing.Bitmap)(obj));
            }
        }

and although now grid is available, it is returning null :/

Found from: Properties.Resources the icon name does not appear in the intellisense

You also need to add the icon to the Resources.resx file. Open it in
Visual Studio and drag your icon into the Icons menu of the resx and
it will become available.
