BMP file included as a resource

[Scott Meddows]

I've added a BMP file to my project file in Visual Studio and told the
compiler to embed the file into the binary. How do I now read this file
back into a filestream?

Thanks

Created with my new tool. Look at the ImageFromEmbedded method below.

'GDIPlus Architect Component Class Output
Public Class Untitled1
Inherits System.ComponentModel.Component

Private Image1Rectangle As System.Drawing.RectangleF = New
System.Drawing.RectangleF(41, 84, 338, 410)

Protected Image1 As System.Drawing.Bitmap

Public Sub New()
MyBase.New
Me.InitializeGraphics
End Sub

Private Sub InitializeGraphics()
Me.Image1 = Me.ImageFromEmbedded("MynameSpace.akeef.jpg")
End Sub

Public Overridable Sub RenderGraphics(ByVal g As
System.Drawing.Graphics)
g.DrawImage(Me.Image1, Me.Image1Rectangle)
End Sub

'Required to dispose of created resources
Private Sub DisposeGraphics()
Me.Image1.Dispose
End Sub

Protected Overloads Overrides Sub Dispose(ByVal disposing As Boolean)
If disposing Then
Me.DisposeGraphics
End If
End Sub

Private Function ImageFromEmbedded(ByVal embeddedPath As String) As
System.Drawing.Bitmap
Dim imageStream As System.IO.Stream =
System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly.GetManifestResourceStream(em
beddedPath)
Dim img As System.Drawing.Bitmap = New
System.Drawing.Bitmap(imageStream)
Return img
End Function
End Class

Hi Scott,

Imports System.IO
Imports System.Reflection
..
..
..
Dim strmImage As Stream =
[Assembly].GetExecutingAssembly.GetManifestResourceStream("RootNamespace.Fil
e.bmp")
