GetManifestResourceStream(String)???

[Darryn Ross]

Hi,

I am trying to use GetManifestResourceStream and i keep getting a NULL
exception error?? i cannot understand why?

private Bitmap _buttonFace;
.

.

.

my code is as follows....

System.IO.Stream strm =
this.GetType().Assembly.GetManifestResourceStream("FWNGL.buttonface.bmp");

_buttonFace = new Bitmap(strm);

Regards

Darryn,

Try this:

string []resourceNames =
this.GetType().Assembly.GetManifestResourceNames();

Go through that list and verify that the resource you want is listed
there. You'll have to use the exact name that's shown there.

Select the file in the Solution Explorer, and look in the Properties window;
"Build Action" should be set to "Embedded Resource."
