Are you saving the physical image? or just the path.. Try this Click Here you will still need to first link to get your image into the Richedit.

Once you have the image from the database the first step is done. Richtextbox doesn't have default methods for adding images so that's why i suggested that first article. Have you gone through it?

[Amanpreet_1]

yes fenrir i studied it ... added emoticons to my resources ... as well ,, but itz getting vrry typical for me to find out wat i actualyy need .. as i simply want to match d emoticon with the php image source i have in my database ..

Okay so you have the string from the database so next you need to find the image in the resources. Did you manually add them to resources? are they inside an image list? At runtime just create a List<string> containing all your resource images. And match them by checking If (List.Contains("Image"))if it finds a match then you can can add the image from the resource.

foreach (string image in System.IO.Directory.GetFiles(@"Resources\"))
{
  MyList.Items.Add(image);
}

This is to get the initial list of your resources. Again i'm not sure how you you added the images to your project.

You only need to specify list.add not items

[Amanpreet_1]

no fenrir its not happening ...

[Amanpreet_1]

theres no error but i suppose itz nt gng in the if loop when getting an image source in message column

[Amanpreet_1]

    Hashtable emotions;
        void createEmotions()
        {
            emotions = new Hashtable(3);
            emotions.Add(":-)", WindowsFormsApplication1.Properties.Resources.smiley_yell);
            emotions.Add(":-(", WindowsFormsApplication1.Properties.Resources.smiley_upset);
            emotions.Add(":-*", WindowsFormsApplication1.Properties.Resources.smiley_kiss);
        }
        void AddEmotions()
        {
            foreach (string emote in emotions.Keys)
            {
                while (chattingbox.Text.Contains(emote))
                {
                    int ind = chattingbox.Text.IndexOf(emote);
                    chattingbox.Select(ind, emote.Length);
                    Clipboard.SetImage((Image)emotions[emote]);
                    chattingbox.Paste();
                }
            }
        }

this code is helpin me get smilies bt only when i manuaalyy write the string :-) or such in richtextbox but thats nt my purpose ..
If (List.Contains("Image")) .. u told to put this condition .. ryt ? but my list contains itz image source not the image as i told earlier thats whr the problm stands .... my message column contains its source and not image so i need some condition ... that only pick smiley-yell.png from the source and returns the corresponding pic from resources
