A library book was discussing the advantages of the ImageList control. However, it's for whatever version came before C# 2005, and it describes using the ImageList property of whatever control you want to pull the images in. Well, in C# 2005, my buttons, toolbars, etc. don't have an ImageList property. And MSDN is only giving me ways to get images into the ImageList, not get them out. How do I access the images once they're in my ImageList. Is this a basically defunct control that isn't used much anymore?

According to this page the ImageList can still be associated with the Button control:

I also see the ImageList property in Visual Studio 2005.

What exactly is your problem?

I'm not sure if it is a good thing to use ImageList. Shouldn't resources including images go to satellite assembly?

I guess that may be more my question at this point; it seems like it's role has been drastically scaled back since that book was written. Has the Imagelist been replaced by .resx files? Is best practices to pull images directly into a control from resources?

PS My development box at home is not online. I found the downloadable .iso to write VS2008 to DVD, but I don't have a DVD writer on any computer. I can borrow my friend's computer when we go visit in January, but is there any other way to get the new Express editions on my computer? I'm excited to get started now.
