HOWTO: Set this.Icon to App.ico in a windows form

How do you set the this.Icon property of a windows form to the App.ico file
specified in the Project Properties? I don't want to type in the path and
filename; I want to set the form's icon programmaticall y in the Form Load
section.

Hi,

Try this...

System.Drawing. Icon ico = new System.Drawing. Icon("C:\\soaf. ico");
this.Icon = ico;

Hope this helps...

Cheers,
Madhu

First you need to set the BuildAction property of the App.ico file to
Embedded resource, then you can use the ResourceManager class to set the
icon for your form.

Let me know if you get stuck.

Thanks for the example, but I explicitly requested a different solution:

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
