XML doesn't support storing binary data directly, but you can use Base64
encoding
(e.g. use XmlTextWriter.WriteBase64() method) to store binary data within an
XML document.
When you have a BASE64 encoded image, you could decode it, convert it to a
stream and construct a Bitmap instance using this stream as a parameter.

However, I suggest that you consider storing your image in a resource file
instead, since this type of file is a better choice for storing images.

Hi,

That is not a very good idea .
he app.config is a text file, not the best way to store an image.

You can store it as a separated file if the image change or as an embedded
resource if the image does not change.


Cheers,
