Excuse me for jumping in here but are you saying that there is no
straightforward way to access an image already defined within a project?
My problem is this. All I want to do is generate an image from the ImageUrl
of an image button.
Dim tempImage As Image = Image.FromFile(imagebutton1.ImageUrl)
All I get is a FileNotFound exception, even though the image itself displays
normally. The image itself is defined within a folder in the project. The
control Url Type is set to 'Document Relative'. The URL itself is in the
format "../Images/ImageName.bmp" where Images is the project folder.
You would think that such a basic operation would be simple in Dot Net.
