Question

I need to make an array of images using references to the resources folder.

The following is my code which does not work:

Dim imgPictures(8) As Image
imgPictures(0) = Image.FromFile(My.Resources.cat_1.ToString)

How do I reference the images sitting in the resouces folder for this task?

Cheers

Answer 1

Dim imgPictures(8) As Image
imgPictures(0) = My.Resources.ResourceManager.GetString("myResourceName")

…

' For assigning a resource to a image control based on your array 
' of strings use something  like this:

Me.picture1.Image = My.Resources.ResourceManager.GetObject(arr(i))
