Resources can be added to the C# Project using Resource Page in the Project Designer (Project à Project Properties)
The Resources page of the Project Designer hosts an instance of the Resource Designer that stores and maintains resources in a single location (Resources.resx).
The Resource Designer is language-neutral and supports projects in all Visual Studio languages. Items that you add to the project by using the Resource Designer are placed in the Resources directory for your project. The designer information is stored in a file named Resources.resx, and code for the resource is stored in Resources.Designer.cs, Resources.Designer.vb, or Resources.Designer.jsl.
Right Click the Resources section in the solution explorer and Select Add à Existing Item and select the Image files that need to be added
The images will be added as shown below
Drag the images to the Resources page – Rename the resource names if needed
Now you can use the Resources in your Form. Select the BackGroundImage from the Form’s properties box – Click on the ellipsis next to the BackGroundImage property. This will open the Select Resource dialog Box
Select appropriate resource from the list
The same can be set through code using
this.BackgroundImage = Properties.Resources.User_Single
