You find the resources in the class Resources. Given the top-level namespace of your project is called "MyProject", you find the default Resources-class under the namespace MyProject.Properties, e.g.:

C#

Bitmap image1 = MyProject.Properties.Resources.Image1;

Depending on the type of resource the members of the Resources-class also have different types: String, Bitmap, Icon, byte[], etc.

You can take a look at it by navigating to the definition of the Resources-class or by opening the file "Resources.Designer.cs" from: Solution Explorer -> YourProject -> Properties -> Resources.resx.

If you add custom resource-files (via Add -> New Item -> Resources File) they can have custom names and can be located under custom namespaces.

You can also use reflection to access embedded resources using a method similar to this:

C#

public static Stream GetResourceStream (string itemPath)
{
    return Assembly.GetCallingAssembly().GetManifestResourceStream(itemPath);
}

You can then create an image from the stream:

C#

new Bitmap(GetResourceStream(itemPath));

TIP
Also, make sure you set the compile type to "Embedded Resource" in Visual Studio for this to work.
