You might try the following and see if it works or at least increases
the number of bitmaps you can load...
Change your code as follows:
1) Embed the graphic files in you project as a resource (e.g. click on
the file name and change the "build action" property from "content" to
"embedded resource" (I'm assuming these files are inlcuded in the
project as content files)
2) Change you code to mimic the code that follows:
images = new Bitmap[200];
for (int i=0;i<134;i++)
{
images[i] = setbm(fname);
}
private Bitmap setbm()
{
System.Resources.ResourceManager resources = new
System.Resources.ResourceManager(typeof(Form1)); //assumes pictures
are loaded at design time into picture boxes on form1)
return (System.Drawing.Bitmap)((System.Drawing.Image)(resources.GetObject(fname)));
}
