You need a minimum screen resolution of about 700 pixels width to see our exercises. This is because they contain diagrams and tables which would not be viewable easily on a mobile phone or small laptop. Please use a larger tablet, notebook or desktop computer, or change your screen resolution settings.
Create a new form called frmResourceUse to contain a label and a PictureBox control:

What your form should look like initially - a bit boring!
Add the following resources to your project:
- A string resource called YourName (set this to hold your name!)
- An image resource called Himbo or Bimbo, to hold a picture of you
Attach code to the form's load event to set:
- the label displays the value of the YourName resource
- the PictureBox displays the image resource you've created
Here's the sort of thing you should see when you run the form (the picture gives an astonishing close likeness to the author):

Check that your application works, then close the form.
