• Ganesh_.NET Loading ToolstripButton Images from another component ( rather than from Resource )

  We have implemented a shared resource component, which is shared between all of our GUI libraries. The resource component has an Imagelist and a Bitmap collection, and we would like to be able to assign the bitmaps from the resource component to ToolStripButtons. However whenever you browse the image property on the ToolStripButton the designer will not allow you to select any images that are not in the Project resource file. Does anyone know ...Show All

• kyeran DataGridView resize issue with last column
