Add image to resource file

[shapper]

Hello,

I created an Asp.Net 2.0 web site in Visual Studio and I want to add an
image to the resource file.
I read that I should set my image's Build Action to EmbeddedResource.
However, when I right click on my image I can't see that option.

What should I do?

Thanks,
Miguel

To set a file to embedded resource, you must select the file, press F4
to show the properties, and then set the "Build Action" to "Embedded
Resource".

You can't embed a resource into an ASP.NET 2.0 site (why would you want
to when the file is already sat on a web server?) You would need to
embed the resource into a different assembly and load it from there.

That's correct, and to be precise, I was talking about the Web
Application Project, not the "New Website" model. Sorry about the confusion.
