Visual Studio, behind the scenes

Every time you do something in the Visual Studio IDE, the IDE is writing code for you. When you created the logo and told Visual Studio to use the image you downloaded, Visual Studio created a resource and associated it with your application. A resource is any graphics file, audio file, icon, or other kind of data file that gets bundled with your application. The graphics file gets integrated into the program, so that when it’s installed on another computer, the graphic is installed along with it and the PictureBox can use it.

When you dragged the PictureBox control onto your form, the IDE automatically created a resource file called Form1.resx to store that resource and keep it in the project. Double-click on this file, and you’ll be able to see the newly imported image.
