  Add a bitmap to your project by saying add new item and selecting "Images" in the drop down list and then set the image as an embedded resource

  I found and configured my image fil as an embeded in build action, but I still get strm variable  in my code bellow as nothing when i debug:

  Dim strm As System.IO.Stream = Me.GetType().Assembly.GetManifestResourceStream("fullbuttonface.bmp")

  _buttonFace = New Bitmap(strm)

  weird

  In addition, don't forget to make your image as "Embedded Resource" and take note of the default namespace of your project, as this will be appended to the name of your image internally.
  
  For example, your default namespace is "MyWindows" and your image name is "fullbuttonface.bmp"; your resource name will become:
  
  MyWindows.fullbuttonface.bmp
  
  Hope this helps,
