title: VB.NET Image array using project resources
body: <p>I need to make an array of images using references to the resources folder. </p>
  
  <p>The following is my code which does not work:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Dim imgPictures(8) As Image
  imgPictures(0) = Image.FromFile(My.Resources.cat_1.ToString)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>How do I reference the images sitting in the resouces folder for this task?</p>
  
  <p>Cheers</p>
