The file is saved as resource. How to obtain that name of the file into tree View?

What I have tried:

C#

private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            treeView1.ImageList.Images.Add(Properties.Resources.ResourceManager.GetString("database.png"));
            
        }

Build says cannot convert from string to System.Drawing.Icon.

..GetString() returns a string; ..Images.Add() does NOT (just) take a string; it takes an icon or image, at least.

Try following:

C#

treeView1.ImageList.Images.Add("myImage", Properties.Resources.IconNameInResource);

BTW, will suggest following read - from a defined ImageList: Redirect Notice[^]

You need to add icon to your resource file.
