title: Can't add resources to visual C# 2008 express?
body: <p>I'm trying to add an image to the resource area of my application and not having very good luck. Is this broken in C# express?</p>
  
  <p>I've tried:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Add image to project using 'Add->Existing Item'. I have marked it as 'content', 'resource', and 'embedded resource' and nothing works.</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>here's the c# code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>ResourceManager oResource = new ResourceManager("MyApp.images", Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly());
  oResource.IgnoreCase = true;
  m_oBedState = (Bitmap)oResource.GetObject("MyImage.bmp");
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I tried opening the resource1.resx file in the project and adding it there. Still can't find it.</p>
  
  <p>Also, what's up with the auto created resource1.designer.cs?? Why do I need code here? I'm embedding a binary file in the resource area. It doesn't require more code bloat. I don't need "no steenkin' badges" ;)</p>
