Imorting icon from Resource file

Shawn Simmons

Greetings:

I have having a bit of trouble with the following code snippet:

ResourceManager rm = new ResourceManager("Bastion.Database.svrBrowse",GetType().Assembly)
DataGridViewImageColumn imgCol = new DataGridViewImageColumn(); 

Icon colIcon = (Icon)rm.GetObject("check-green.ico");  // Line Throws a Object reference not set to an instance of an object. Error

rm.ReleaseAllResources();

How do I make the proper assignment here? I am in the process of learning C#. Thanks.

Hey Lizard:

new Icon() won't work because the Icon class will not allow an empty constructor. It is expecting a string constructor.

I am not sure but I think you need to throw in a new

Icon colIcon = new Icon();
colIcon =  (Icon)rm.GetObject("check-green.ico");  // Line Throws a Object reference not set to an instance of an object. Error
