Reusing Embedded Images in the application

G

Guest

Hi,
We have an windows mobile application in which we are using some images in
around 20 forms.
And these images are now included as part of the resource files in all these
forms.

Does this increase the size of my exe.....

Will the compact framework take care of duplicate image while building the
application ??
Is there any way i can reduce the size of my exe it is currently 1.5 MB...


Thanks,
Murthy

It has no way of knowing you have the same resource in 2 places. If you
added an image through the IDE by setting a PictureBox's Image property and
then re-added teh same image to a resource file, then you have 2 copies of
the image. Get rid of one.
