Visual Basic - how to include images in exe?

[Artheas]

I've created a small program that loads an image from my D drive.
If those image files are moved, or if their containing folders are renamed, then the program cannot access those images (and crashes).

How would i go about creating the exe so that the image files are included in the program?
So that if i were to send someone the program, i could just send the Prog.exe and it would work fine, without having to also places image files in a specific folder on their drive.

I've tried googling for it, but i don't know enough to use the right search terms, etc


(I'm using VB 2008 Express Edition)

You need to use something called 'Resources', these are packaged inside the shipped executable. Not sure how they work in VB, but visual studio will have the required stuff to set them up.

Quick google gave this: http://visualbasic.about.com/od/usingvbnet/a/ResVBNET.htm

Tyvm, that's exactly what i was looking for

I had a feeling it was 'resources' and i did do a google search using that term, but all i got were VB 'resource pages'
