In my Windows Forms application, I add an image as a resource (Embedded) which I'm trying to use as a background image for a control.
When I click on the Properties of the control and the 'Select Resource' pops up , the 'Project Resource' option is empty. Shouldn't it contain the image I've added as a resource?
When I use the 'Local Resource' and choose it from the drive, it gets attached to the control ok but when I re-open the project another time, the image is missing hence the control has no background image property
The resource is added in the manifest as
<data name="background" type="System.Drawing.Bitmap, System.Drawing" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64">
<value>
<\value>
but does not show up in the Project Resource tab
what am I doing wrong ?
