hey all, i'm trying to add an image to my custom control so that it looks unique in my toolbox. i saw in a webcast that all you had to do was add the image to the project and change the Build Action property to Embedded Resource. i did that, recompiled it. but when i delete the old item from the toolbox and add the new dll it still shows the default icon. does the image need to be a certain size or something, i'm at a loss.
