Parameters

type
Type: System::Type^

If this ToolboxBitmapAttribute object does not already have a small image, this method searches for a bitmap resource in the assembly that defines the type specified by the component type. For example, if you pass typeof(ControlA) to the type parameter, then this method searches the assembly that defines ControlA.

large
Type: System::Boolean

Specifies whether this method returns a large image (true) or a small image (false). The small image is 16 by 16, and the large image is 32 by 32.

Return Value

Type: System.Drawing::Image^

An Image associated with this ToolboxBitmapAttribute object.

This method searches for a resource named namespace.classname.bmp, where namespace is the namespace containing the definition of the type specified by the type parameter. For example, suppose you pass an typeof(ControlA) to the type parameter. If ControlA is in NamespaceA in AssemblyA.dll, then this method searches AssemblyA.dll for a resource named NamespaceA.ControlA.bmp.

If this ToolboxBitmapAttribute object does not already have a large image, this method creates a large image by scaling the small image.
