Placing images in external DLLs

[Brian A. Cline]

After placing several images in an embedded resource file, the size of
my program's executable has jumped considerably. I don't need these
images until a specific dialog pops up, and it's possible that may never
happen in the majority of cases. What would be the best way to go about
placing these images in a separate resource that gets compiled to a DLL?
Additionally, once I've done that, how can I load the images from that
external DLL?

Any suggestions are appreciated. I'm using VS2005 / .NET 2.0.
