Include images in an assembly.

[Shark Bait]

Right now I have a web control that serves as a header for all of our
intranet sites. The assembly in in the GAC but it has images (jpg) that are
located in a directory on the server. Is there a way to compile these images
into the assembly?

Thanks

Compiling the images into the assembly is the easy part. (Mark them as
embedded resources in the property window.)
Getting them back out of the assembly and displaying them in a page is the
hard part.
You need a special page (or even better yet, an HTTP Module) that only
outputs the image(s).

What kind of terms would I do a search for? Do you know of any tutorials or
articles?

Yes, here's an example for you:

However, that requires you to include the special page, which doesn't
really save you anything, unless you have a lot of graphics embedded.

Here's a way to do it that may or may not work for you. It works for
me, and I don't need any external files.
