how to reference a file that was included in the project in vb.net

Question

in which directory is an image copied when you include it in your project?

Answer 1

If it's copied to the output directory, you can use Path.Combine:

Shared ReadOnly AppDirectory As String = Path.GetDirectoryName(New Uri(GetType(Program).Assembly.CodeBase).LocalPath)

Dim filePath As String = Path.Combine(AppDirectory, "MyFile.jpg")
