Programmers,
can anyone help with a problem I am faced with,

http://i877.photobuc...91/Untitled.png

above is the picture of a program I am building, and am faced with an error

Operator '=' is not defined for types 'System.Drawing.Image' a Error

Objective;

to click the flag button and it adds a flag image to the button, as you can see no problem doing this but when I add the code to remove it, it comes up with the error above

Button2.Image = My.Resources.mark And Button2.Image = Nothing

additional information

the 2nd part of the code

Button2.Image = Nothing

works on on its own as well but if you put the 2 together in the same line you get a debug error

how can I solve this problem

Kind Regards

I am not sure if this is correct, but since the AND operator returns true only if both conditions are true, you seem to be getting that error.

I have a question. Why would you want to use both of them in the same line?

Please, try to explain what exactly would you like to achieve with:
Button2.Image = My.Resources.mark And Button2.Image = Nothing

The And is not the right thing to use when you want to add multiple statements on the same line of code, use the Colon (:) to separate the two statements. So the line would become Button2.Image = My.Resources.mark : Button2.Image = Nothing

/> yeah biggerB, you are right, but I was wondering why would anyone want to set background image of the button to some image from resources, and "instantly" set background image for the same button to nothing?!

lucky3 Beats me.. But thats all i see wrong with the code..

Thank you for your replies,
As you saw by the picture I uploaded for view it is a question and answer program and with the option to flag questions and it come up with a flag.
The reason behind the code is that you can do the same with a picture box so you would say picture box 1.visable = true and picture box1.visable = false you when the flag button is pressed once it will display a flag and if pressed again it will remove the flag so they can add and remove flags to the questions.
What I am looking for is a code that will display and de display the flag on each button

Kind Regards

So you wanna switch flag on and off as a button image? On button click event handler do something like this then:

        If IsNothing(Button2.Image) Then
            Button2.Image = My.Resources.mark
        Else
            Button2.Image = Nothing
        End If
