Hi everyone.
Is there anyone who knows how to access resources (in .resx files) created in Visual Studio in C#. Im trying toget around the problem of having to install 5 pics, icons and cursors whenever I write a program with customised stuff, or for sprites in GDI.

Kronos would be the one to speak to but unfortunately he is out on leave for the rest of the week. Will give him a hollar and let him know.

I have created a .resx resource file with the inbuilt resource editor in Visual Studio 2005 (beta 1), and I can't find out how to access images in it.

All of your designers have a .resx file that is hidden - so when you add objects to those designers, weither it be images or buttons, they will get written there.
I you want a central source of the types of resources - images, I guess - you want to access then take a look at your help at
[url]ms-help://MS.VSCC.2003/MS.MSDNQTR.2004APR.1033/vcresed/html/_asug_Overview.3a_.Resource_Editors.htm[/url] - assuming that you have got msdn installed.
I'm not sure if you have taken a look at this - but it seems to have all the editors you would need.

Thanks for the help. I figured it out - the Properties namespace has a member corresponding to each item in the resource file.
