Error initializing form containing button with image

[CaKiwi]

When I set the image field of a button on my form, I get the following error when my form is initializing.


A first chance exception of type 'System.Resources.MissingManifestResourceException' occurred in mscorlib.dll
Additional information: Could not find any resources appropriate for the specified culture (or the neutral culture) in the given assembly. Make sure "Form1.resources" was correctly embedded or linked into assembly "test2".
baseName: Form1 locationInfo: test2.Form1 resource file name: Form1.resources assembly: test2, Version=1.0.2162.17278, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null


The statement being executed at the time is

this.buttonCancel.Image = ((System.Drawing.Image)(resources.GetObject("buttonCancel.Image")));

Any help greatly appreciated.

Click on the image in your project.

Under the properties - change "Build Type" to Embedded Resource.

Recompile and Redeploy

Hi JurkMonkey,

Thanks for the response.

Which image do I click on? I tried clicking and right-clicking the image on the form. Right-clicking brings up the properties window for the button but there is no "build type" field. I couldn't find anything useful clicking or right-clicking on the image in the properties window.

Is your image in the "Solution Explorer"?

You would need to right click on it there.

I couldn't see a way of getting an existing image into the porject so I cretaed a new image file by clicking Project -> add new item -> BMP image, creating a file and then copying the bmp file I want onto the file just created. I then changed its build type property to Embedded Resource and linked. I still get the same fatal error.

Any further help greatly appreciated.
