Embed Picture to Custom Control

Question

Hello all I'm gonna use this method to embed a small 16x16 transparent png to my custom control:

    Dim PictureStream As New IO.MemoryStream(New Byte() _
    {&H89, xxxxxxxxxxxxxx})
    PictureBox1.Image = New Drawing.Bitmap(PictureStream)
    PictureStream = Nothing

However, don't know how to get the MemoryStream from my png icon on disc? Any idea? Thanks

output is expected to be like: -with or without {}

> {&H89, &H50, &H4E, &H47, &HAE, &H42, &H60, &H82}
> ```

Answer 1

If you have an image file, then:

PictureBox1.ImageLocation = "C:\SomeFolder\MyImage.png"

The stream is not needed.

Answer 2

Hi @S-Soft , Try using Image.FromStream Method

    Dim image As Image = Image.FromStream(ms)
    PictureBox1.Image = image

Best Regards.
