Remarks

This method retrieves image data from a System.Resources.ResourceManager.

The following types of objects are supported:

System.Drawing.Bitmap
System.Drawing.Icon
Array of System.Byte

An adaptive bitmap need to be stored as an array of System.Byte in resource. Other types lead to data loss.

The Managed Resource Editor automatically sets the type to System.Drawing.Bitmap when an adaptive bitmap is added. This could be avoided in one of the following ways:

Before adding, change the extension name of the adaptive bitmap file to an unknown one to the editor, for example ".bin".
After adding, edit the resx file in xml mode, and change the type to Byte[]. For example:

<data name="MyBitmap" type="System.Resources.ResXFileRef, System.Windows.Forms">
    <value>MyBitmap.tif;System.Byte[], mscorlib, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089</value>
</data>
