Using IIF with images

See more:

VB

Is it possible to use IIF statement with the image property of a control? The code below will always return "DOWN" even if the image is set to accept.

state = IIf(lblModemUSB.Values.Image Is My.Resources.accept, "UP", "DOWN")

lblModemUSB.Values.Image returns a normal System.Drawing.Image
My.Resources.accept is an image in my resources called accept.png

*solution*
here is the solution i am now using.

Public Function Hash_Images(ByVal image1 As Image, ByVal image2 As Image) As String
        Dim image1Stream As System.IO.MemoryStream = New MemoryStream()
        Dim image2Stream As System.IO.MemoryStream = New MemoryStream()
        image1.Save(image1Stream, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Bmp)
        image2.Save(image2Stream, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Bmp)
        Dim image1Data As Byte() = New Byte(image1Stream.Length - 1) {}
        image1Stream.Read(image1Data, 0, image1Data.Length)
        Dim image2Data As Byte() = New Byte(image2Stream.Length - 1) {}
        image2Stream.Read(image2Data, 0, image2Data.Length)
        Dim md5 As New System.Security.Cryptography.MD5CryptoServiceProvider()
        Dim hash1 As Byte() = md5.ComputeHash(image1Data)
        Dim hash2 As Byte() = md5.ComputeHash(image2Data)
        Dim hash1String As String = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetString(hash1)
        Dim hash2String As String = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetString(hash2)
        If hash1String = hash2String Then
            Return "same"
        Else
            Return "different"
        End If
    End Function
