Don't know how to copy images to resources file on VB and create background change button. I am trying to add my graphics folder to the resources folder in my project but I get some kind of error. That's the easy question. Now, I have a panel container in which I want to show an image that will be change about 5 times when I click on my background change button. What codes do I need to use for this?

My.Resources.MyFile.Copy("C: empabc.xml")

File.Copy(My.Resources.MyFile, "C: empabc.xml")
Neither work.
I have a file sent to me (in .png format) that contains images in a sheet. I wish to "crop" out portions of the .png file and use those "pieces" as images to place on buttons on a form.Question; who do you take a section of a file and save it as a separate image file to be used in this way?
View 2 RepliesWhen I set the button background image in properties, it looks great. When the button is clicked, the image needs to change. I tried to use an image list like this: btnSample.BackgroundImage = ImlStimuli.Images.Item(0)and I tried loading them from a file. I can get them to read, but the image always turns out blurry or distorted. I've tried all variations of alignment, BackgroundImageLayout like stretch/zoom/centered, and I changed flat style, but nothing has worked. Is there a setting or something that I'm missing in properties?

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 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 using resources in VB.NET(2008) to manage my files and have 3 icon files that need to be on 3 buttons on my form (clicking the button changes the icon of the form tot the pressed button)
ICO_1.ico
ICO_2.ico
ICO_3.ico
but when I try the code below i get the error that "Value of type system.drawing.icon cannot be converted to system.drawing.image" any idea what's wrong?
btnIcon1.image = my.resources.ICO_1
btnIcon2.image = my.resources.ICO_2
I have attached my code. It works in a cetain sense. Basically what this does is change the wallpaper every couple seconds. It sets the registry value for the wallpaper and then refreshes the screen. I also have it converting images from .jpg to .bmp and copying to a folder. The registry gets set, the images get copied to the folder and the wallpaper gets set as a random one(that all works). But it just displays a blank picture. If I manually select the picture from the display properties it doesn't display correctly either. I think the problem lays in the conversion process.

View 1 RepliesI 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 have a fully running GUI of an application, but i want it to make a batch file and run it on the background.
View 18 RepliesI 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..
View 9 RepliesI'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.

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 placed some images in my Resources directory, how can i load this using a picturebox? PictureBox1.BackgroundImage =?

I am trying to use a combobox that when a user selects an item than that particular item (image) is drawn on the form.
View 4 RepliesOk, 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.
