Example code required for how to access embedded .Net image resources in C#

It's very easy to mark an image file to become an embedded resource however how does one access the image thereafter. Please can I have some example code?


The most direct method:

YourProjectsBaseNamespace.Properties.Resources.YourImageResourceName

1) Adding and Editing Resources (Visual C#)

System.Drawing.Bitmap bitmap1 = myProject.Properties.Resources.Image01; 

2) Accessing Embedded Resources using GetManifestResourceStream

Assembly _assembly = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly();

Stream _imageStream = 
    _assembly.GetManifestResourceStream(
    "ThumbnailPictureViewer.resources.Image1.bmp");
Bitmap theDefaultImage = new Bitmap(_imageStream);

Look at the third code snippet at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa309403(VS.71).aspx
