I have a dataset which contains some products and their image filenames (for example "test.png"). Images are loaded as resources. How can I set the image location properly?
DataRowView uRow = (DataRowView)comboBox1.SelectedItem;
DataRow row = uRow.Row;
pictureBox1.ImageLocation = Properties.Resources + row["logo"].ToString();
You can get a string resource by name like this:
string imageName = row["logo"].ToString();
// Strip off the extension, since it is not contained in the resource name.
imageName = Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(imageName);
pictureBox1.ImageLocation =
Properties.Resources.ResourceManager.GetString(imageName);
If you have stored the images themselves as resources, you can get them by name like this:
pictureBox1.Image =
(Image)Properties.Resources.ResourceManager.GetObject(imageName);
ImageLocation, so I'm not sure.The ImageLocation property does not support using resources directly. From the MSDN Docs:
Gets or sets the path or URL for the image to display in the PictureBox.
To load an image that is a resource, please see Change PictureBox's image to image from my resources?
If you set property Access modifier of Resources.resx file to the Friend or Public
then images or another resources can be accessed without hardcoding names.
Visual Studio will generate a class and properties for every resources
pictureBox1.Image = Properties.Resources.YourImage;
