Reference a resource from another assembly

G

Guest

I have added various bitmap resources to an assembly. I had added a
reference to that assembly from another assembly. While creating a WinForm
from this 2nd assembly, I add a button and attempt to set it's Image property
via the visual designer. However, I am unable to select the bitmap resource.
I know that i can do this programmatically, but need to be able to do it via
the visual designer.

Is this possible?

Thanks.

You couldn't use the resource in the designer even if it was the same
assembly. If you select an image file and assign it to the property, the
image is also stored as a resource in the assembly.

In Whidbey Beta 2 you can select from a list of existing resources if they
are in the same assembly.
