VS 2008 Reading Images From Resources?
Sep 5, 2010
Ok, here's my problem. I already understand referencing a image using My.Resources.(Image name), But this won't work for my current situation, because the image name is in a string so I can't Hard-Code it into the program. IE. The file name is found by doing the statement:Filename = "_" + poke + "_"
Where poke is as string that contains the name of the file. The normal way to call this would be to use My.Resources._(contents of poke)_ but that doesn't work since i can't just inject the contents of poke into the line without making the entire thing a string, and by making it a string that command doesn't work normally.
I just can't seem to find a guide anywhere that talks about this, and I've been stuck on this for quite some time now. I've been able to reference XML's that are included the same way as the images using My.Resources.Resourcemanager.Geobject but this doesn't seem to work for the Images, and I haven't found any other way.

Recently I uninstalled and reinstalled Visual Studio 2008. Before that, Visual Studio compress images that I put in the Resources folder. In this folder I put images in PNG format for use in the project. When I was compiling the project, the executable was of a size much smaller than the sum of the bytes of the images as they were compressing in the compilation. The sum of the size of the images gives a 47MB, and the file compiled with the images was around 3.5 MB. But now the images are not compressed. For the resulting executable with the build is about 48 MB ... I'm deducing the problem is because the images were not compressed ...is it so?

I've been coding using vb.net for a while but I've been using imageLocation property to set an image for a picturebox or for the background image of a form. How do I use those images in my Resources Folder in my solution explorer to set an image for a certain picturebox or form. I sorta need a code for it.

I have added a .png to my project (in solution explorer). Now all I need to do is simply point a picturebox at this resource and display it.
I'm obviously missing something quite primitive! I assume that would be classed as a 'resource' ? I don't want to load images from file paths, it just makes it messy for the user + they could technically change what is displayed within the program.

I am currently working on a project that contains a few images, that are placed in a lot of different controls. I was wondering, is it possible to rename those few resources images , ex. image1 name is bg, and when i click a button to rename that image to bg2 and rename bg2 to bg.. something similar to an image swap, just done by renaming resources. I will wait for a few suggestion, but if all lead to the same possibility, which I hope is not "no, you can not", than my time is narrowed down for better use, other than changing each control's image manually..

I'm trying to populate a set of 9 PicturBoxes with images selected at random from a set of 54 held in Resources. The random selection poses no problem but getting the images to display is proving troublesome. My initial problem was that I can't just use a string variable to identify the image in VB.NET.
However, Deepak Sakpal has given a good pointer in answer to another post which looks good. The code runs ok and completes without any runtime errors, but sadly it displays no images. All (54) images have their Build Action selected to Embedded Resource, the image name concatenates correctly.
Private Sub Button2_Click() Handles Button2.Click
Dim a As Integer
Dim z, y As String

I have about 10 .png images in my.resources that I want to show in a Combobox, without any text. They're all slightly different sizes, so want them scaled to 40 pixels high x whatever the scaled width is.
When the end user selects an image in the Combobox, I want to store which of the my.resources items was selected to be saved so that I can then use it later on (for example, I want to save the value in my.settings, so that I can repopulate the combo box with the chosen image on next load).
I know how to load images into a combobox, but am having problems with the scaling - I also can't figure out how to load images from my.resources (it's easy with an imagelist, but how do I do it from my.resources?), or how to reference the selected resource for later use.

I want to use the image.source property to reference or retrieve .jpg images from the Resource file at runtime so I can dispay them in an image control, but seem to be failing. The images are now in the Resources file. I use vb.net in WPF. I know how to reference them in a folder but this proves to be inconvenient.

I'm really really rusty/rubbish at this, but I have a series of 11 bitmaps in my resources folder.
I'd like, each time I click a button, a different image loads in sequence into a picture box. How do I do this. I know I've got to some array which loads the images, and a loop to increment through the array, but I can't put it together with the resources folder and the PictureBox control.
I sort of got something like this:
Private
Sub Button1_Click(ByVal

I am working on a project where my forms resize to fill the users screen (which means they have different dimensions depending on screen resolution).I have made some vector images (.eps) in hopes of using them on my forms so that when the form opens the images always look clear, crisp, and not skewed.I am finding that vb.net will not let me import a .eps file into my resources. Is there a way around this? Is there another way to get a vector image into vb? possibly an SDK that will allow me to work with .eps files the same way i work with .dcm images?

I'm working on a program where I've got a WebBrowser control that displays an HTML file from my 'Resources' folder. Like so... WebBrowser1.DocumentText = My.Resources.MyHTMLFile That displays the text from the HTML file just fine, but it does not display the CSS styles or images that the HTML file uses (even though I've added the CSS file and images to the 'Resources' folder as well).

i have added 3 .png files [done.png, failed.png, busy.png] to my project & changed them to "embedded resource" [from this wht i understand is that they will be integrated within the exe hence eliminating the dependency on the actual location it is stored]
i have 1 picturebox on my form whose image i have to change as per the output of something else
this is wht my code looks like :
If text1.text = "Done" then
picturebox1.image = my.resources.done.png
end if
[Code].....
but it gives me error during run time.. am i using the right code ? or is there an alternate method for this ?

I am witting an app that will generate batch files to do an unattended installation of a share point 2007 farm. I already have a batch file I use and it's pretty big. I copied and pasted the content into my application, and I'm using the System.IO.StreamWriter to write to the batch file from the winform. [code]As you can probably guess, I'm doing all of this in my mainform code window. There are maybe 3 or 4 batch files that will be generated based on the selections made on the form. For example, I'm generating a batch file to create the OU, Group and service accounts the farm will use in active directory, I'm creating a batch file for all of the variables that will be used for the additional batch files created, etc. How can I split this up? is there a way to create the batch files without having to actually copy, paste my existing batch file content into the mainform code window? I'm using file.writeline on each line of the pasted content by the way.

I've been working on my own web browser for a few years now using the webbrowser control in VB.Net.The following routine allows me to pull images on a web page that are stored in the cache:
Private Function GetCachedURLPath(ByVal lpszUrl
As String)
As Boolean
[code]....
This routine has worked well for me, but there are some pages where it is unable to pull the image from the cache. What discovered is that when a web page host images on a different server than the page hosting server, the images get stored in the cache with the address from the image server instead of the src address listed in the IMG tag. Given that I am using the URL from the src in the IMG tag, the routine fails to provide a return path.In most instances reloading the page puts the image into the cache with the same address as the scr record. It was fairly easy to write a routine that automatically reloaded the page when I could not find the image in cache, but one of the things I want to address in my latest revision is this issue.
I have a routine that allows me to run through all of the URL's for the files stored in the internet cache and using that I can figure out the correct URL for a picture, but this seems to me to be about as cumbersome as reloading the page and can be time consuming if the page has a lot of images.I can cut down on the time if I modify the routine to only run through the list on exceptions, but this just seems inefficient to me, especially since I have to make an assumption about what part of the image URL's are the same. What I'd like to do is to track the sources of the images as the web page is being drawn so that I have a listing of all the real source URL's for the images instead of having to rely on what is referenced in the src attribute.

The app i am working on is for creating theme for the iPod touch... It has to deal with LOTS of images (100's potentially) There will be the set of default images, and then the user created replacement images. I started loading all the defaults into a resx file... thinking then I could just pull them out. now that I started setting the default, this sucks! lol the app will do this, on load it will set all the images (variables) to the resx images then when a theme is loaded, it will replace the default with the user image (if the user img exists) otherwise, the default stays. Then the "screen" is drawn to show the user. so, here is just the images to build the wallpaper, dock, and status bar...
