resources.GetObject("imageList1.ImageStream") throws System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException

[Jan Pfeil]

Hello NG,

I'm in trouble with a simple ImageList component which doesn't load my
images. Consider the following steps I used to create a simple Windows forms
application with VS:

1. New Project, C#, Windows Application
2. Add ImageList component imageList1 to Form1
3. in imageList1 properties open the 'Image Collection Editor' for Images
and add a simple copy.bmp
4. build and run the application

What I get here is an TargetInvocationException at this line
this.imageList1.ImageStream =
((System.Windows.Forms.ImageListStreamer)(resources.GetObject("imageList1.Im
ageStream")));

Later I want to use imageList1 to fill ToolbarButtons with images.
What am I doing wrong? I got the same effect on the SDK sample TreeViewCtl
but I fixed it by recreating the imagelist and it worked. Now I´m confused.
Below I paste the generated code and the console output.

A reason of this problem is that:

You have a manifest file for devenv.exe which is the VS .NET IDE. Please
get rid of the manifest file and the sample works again.
