You can put the images in as embedded resources for the dll project, then have some code in in your application like this:

Code: Select all

        Dim dll As Assembly = Assembly.GetAssembly(GetType(ClassLibrary1.Class1))
        Dim myResources As String() = dll.GetManifestResourceNames()

        msgbox(myResources(0))
        Dim resStream As Stream = dll.GetManifestResourceStream(myResources(0))
        Dim image1 As Image = Image.FromStream(resStream)
        resStream.Close()

        PictureBox1.Image = image1

You have to have at least 1 image file as an embedded resource in your project for it to work.

lol i did add a image file i have uploaded the main app and dll source files in first post

Looks like you forgot to set the build action to embedded resource for your Image1.bmp/xddd.png files in the dll project.

i tryed it again last night and recompiled to what you z and i had added a referance to the file but now the name classlibary1.clase highlights blue but when i recompile it as a compiler then the blue line disapears

Maybe you called the class library something different?
