Well that would be what I am looking for because in that case all my images will be in the common Resource File and then the image list would be programatically be filled with the images needed from the resource file. Could you share some code on how to import the images from the resource file?
Also that could be a new SF ImageList control in future updates...
If it were that simple we would have already done it. This will require that we replumb the ListView, etc. At present this is still standard .NET logic. Trust me, this has already crossed our minds hundreds, it not thousands of times!
