Assign a resource to a Picture Box programatically

[Jürgen Heyn]

Good afternoon,

I would like to display a bitmap in a PictureBox which is stored in a
resource file.

The following code works perfectly:
picUser.Image = My.Resources.Re sUserIcon01.x48 _Crewmember

From a database the application retrieves a string:
"x48_Crewmember " (or "ResUserIcon01. x48_Crewmember" )

How can I display the bitmap in a PictureBox using this string?

I could do ist with the following:
Select Case True
Case strBildname = "x48_Crewmember "
picUser.Image = My.Resources.Re sUserIcon01.x48 _Crewmember
....
End Select

Because of the number of bitmaps there must be a more elegant way.
Thank you for any hint.
Best regards
