GetManifestResourceStream("fullbuttonface.bmp") not working

[Jonathan Crawford]

Hi

I downloaded a sample from here
http://64.78.52.104/FAQ/WinForms/default.asp#44
5.57 How do I display a column of buttons such as pushbuttons or combobox
buttons?

I can run the project ok and it works as intended but can't get
the functionality to work with my project.

I created a new project, imported all the objects from the sample in, set
the bit maps to be "Embeded resources"
I have set every namespace to be the same


However the code fails to pick up the bitmap

Dim strm As System.IO.Stream =
Me.GetType().Assembly.GetManifestResourceStream("fullbuttonface.bmp")
_buttonFace = New Bitmap(strm)


The error code is null is not valid value for a stream

I have sadly spent a whole day on this and don't know
where to go next.

I am obviously missing somethign simple

Ant adice would be appreciated

Jonathan

you need to use the namespace before the filename

if your rootnamespace is WindowsApplicatioin1 then it would be
WindowsApplication1.fullbuttonface.bmp

try that
