I have created a .dll file which creates a form with a
picturebox and a bitmap in it.I create an instance of the
dll from a project but I get an exception FileNotFound
My code is:

this.bitmap = new Bitmap(the path along with the bitmap
file);
pictureBox1.Image = bitmap;

Actually, I have added the bitmap file in the dll project,
not the application project that I use to test the dll,
and I select Build Action:Content.

Thanks

Are you embedding the bitmap into the dll? If so then you may have to use
Assembly.GetManifestResourceStream to extract the bitmap.

Do you mean to select "Embedded Resource" as build action
in the dll project and add
Assembly.GetManifestResourceStream to the application
project?
