ImageList Errors - What a crap!

Hi,

Whenever I add images to imagelist and running my application I
encounter this error:
-------
An unhandled exception of type
'System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException' occurred in mscorlib.dll
Additional information: Exception has been thrown by the target of an
invocation.

Then it highlights the following line in my application code:

Me.ImageList1.ImageStream =
CType(resources.GetObject("ImageList1.ImageStream"),
System.Windows.Forms.ImageListStreamer)
--------
Also, the value of "Me.ImageList1.ImageStream" is "Nothing".

I have looked up some Microsoft site for this, but couldn't really
solve this problem since it happens for images of every size .


Thanks in advance

PS: Where is all those.....Net Microsoft talked about? If they know
that DI cracks with so many exceptions, then why did they release
their product ? Doesn't any MS guy take responsibility for all these
mistakes?I have paid money for their product, you know?

Do you use an application manifest to enable visual styles within the
IDE with "devenv.exe"?

Thanks a lot!
That was a really great help (I removed the manifest file.)
However, because XP style is extremely important for me in design
time, I need to view my applications appearance in their exact form
they will appear at run time in XP.
Why doesn't VS.NET support XP Style?


Thanks again,

Who knows ;-). There isn't much difference between a form shown with
styles and without styles in matters of controls' size. In VS 2005
"Whidbey", 'FlatStyle' set to 'Standard' will give a themed look in the
IDE too.
