Using Resource files in VB.NET

[BankCop]

Does anyone have a link or links to any good tutorials or discussions regarding the use of resource files in VB.NET? I've looked at the Microsoft stuff, but it generally concentrates on localization. I'm really looking for info about storing icons and graphics and how to recall them when needed. This was very easy in VB6 with the LoadRes methods.Thanks in advance....

Visual Studio allows you to embed resources in your executable of create seperate resource files. For the latter, a resource file editor is supplied as a project that you build yourself. You can then add the compiled assembly to the Tools menu in VS. Do a help search for "ResEditor" for details.
