Here is my test project setup 1. Visual studio 2010 ultimate 2. .NET framwork 4.0 Windows Forms Application 3. Using default project settings (did not modify any settings) From solution explorer, I imported a resource file (binary/rcdata). Upon building the project, build completes successfully, but application exe has 0 size. Upon further investigation I found that this happens when any resource file has a size more than 2558 bytes. Is there any size limitation with rcdata resource? Or do I have to do some specific setting? To verify, i created a new win32 application project and imported the same resource file and it works fine. I would really appreciate any help/suggestion to solve this issue.

I have the picture file of the arrow button, the rectangle and the dropdown list in my local resources. I have searched the net and all I can find is the codes that I would have to draw the Combobox myself in the code like using the Rectangle function and specify the rectangle width, height etc. So I would like to ask if it is possible to use images from local resources to customise my ComboBox while still maintaining the functions for the Combobox. If yes, please show some code snippets like which classes and methods I should use.
