Adding And Using A File To A Solution?

I recently built a program in VB 2010 that calls an image file from my hard drive. I have found that by deleting or moving the file causes the program to shut down.The code to call the image is as follows:

aTileSheet.LoadBitmap("C:Documents and Settingsimagefile.jpg", 32, 32)

I remember when I was working with C#, there was a way to add a file (such as a Jpeg) to the solution itself.While I can add a file with the "Add Existing Item" command, I am at a loss for how to use it from the solution. If there is some way to add an outside file so that it will be a part of the program after building it, or if this is even possible, I using s dynamicbitmap command (as found from this website ) to use the image. If this effects the results, let me know that too.
