Thanks a bunch! Got it working :D Also how can I add the picture directly to a picturebox? I can't get that working. And can I put any files in a resx/dll file? I would like also to put a mp3 and wma file in it but it returns a error like also stated on that article. I currently have: Assembly h = Assembly.LoadFile(System.Environment.CurrentDirectory +\PHD.dll); Stream s = h.GetManifestResourceStream(test.rsx); But how do I get the image now?
