How to: Add or Remove ImageList Images with the Designer

You can add images to an ImageList component several different ways. You can add images very quickly by using the smart tag associated with the ImageList, or if you are setting several other properties on the ImageList, you may find it more convenient to add images with the Properties window. You can also add images by using code. For more information about how to add images with code, see How to: Add or Remove Images with the Windows Forms ImageList Component.
