Embedding bmp resource into program

Inferno42 (2)
Hello I seem to be having some problems with my program I am attempting to build.I have been searching for roughly 2 days now and to no avail I am trying to embed a .bmp file into a program so that a login button will change when clicked and hovered over.Keep in mind the fact that I am a novice programmer so the code may be a bit messy also I have using the .net framework windows form template.

If anyone could help me that would be great.
Thank you

In c++ you just need to call LoadBitmap() api using MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDB_BITMAP1) as second argument. Dont forget to call DeleteObject() on the resulting handle to free it after you using.
I am not familiar with .net framework crap and this is a c++ forum after all.

I was under the impression the .net was a framework or template for C++,C# or VB either way I did what you said and I am still getting an error
