Embedded application Icon in exe

Embedded application Icon in exe

• karthic

  Hi, Thanks for the answer, but this was already done. now I do not know how to give that icon to my applicaiton.

  From the application tab, on the resource area I can assign an icon to my application from a file or from a "res" file, but I do not know how to get it form the one I have give to my resources.

  May I do it programtatically any example

  Regards

  hi,

  i guess the question is about how can the application icon take effect and appear on the exe file ,

  right click your project in solution explorer and select properties , in application tab you will find your option to set the application icon , build your application

  then from you HDD explorer navigate to your projectfolder/bin/debug  you will see yourproject.exe changed its icon

  hope this helps

  jaLG:

  The resource is automatically built into the exe when you compile your project; even if it is stored in a separate folder on your development machine (as a linked resource). There is nothing more that you need to do after you have added it to your project. This page has more info on resources: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-US/library/7k989cfy.aspx

  Does that answer your question

  Do you want to change your application's icon while it is running

  I would add them directly to the resources. View the project properties and click the Resources tab. It will tell you if there are none and let you add a resource file in that case.

  Click on the Add Resource drop down and select Add Existing file. Select the icon you want and rebuild.

  Now you can access that icon via Properties.Resources.filename where filename is the name of the ico file without the extension.
