You need to know the path of the folder before you can copy the images across. Then you can just use File.Copy(sourceFileName, destFileName) to transfer the images. Personally I like to use the Application Settings file to hold things such as resource paths. That way you can just set up a resource folder at setup and save the path into the Settings file. To save the path into a database is the same as saving any string, varchar field using ADO.Net
Hope this helps.

No, no you don't want to do that.

I'm not sure what you do actually want to do - I have no idea of your application - but you really don't want you app to modify itself when it is running. And adding items to the solution folders is effectively that.

What happens when you release the program? Where is the solution folder then? Are you going to release the source code (and a copy of VS) with each installation?

Instead, keep these images in your ApplicationData folder, or (better still) put them directly into your database.
