ToolboxBitmap and resource files

I want my custom controls to have customer bitmaps but I can't get them to
work if I try to pull the icon from a resource file.

I know that I can add the icon to the project as an embedded resource then
put the attribute.
[ToolboxBitmap(t ypeof(MyControl ),"MyIcon.ico ")]

That works fine. But I would really like to put the icon in a resource file
MyControl.resx then use it as the icon. Has anyone ever gotten this to
work. Or has anyone figured out how to compile .ico files as embedded
resources using Nant?

Any help is appreciated.

I am attempting to create icons for controls I have created using VB.NET by using the System.Drawing.ToolboxBitmap attribute. I have managed to do this in C# by specifying the path to the *.ico file, but I have been unable to get any of the overloads to work in VB.NET. I would like to store the *.ico files in a *.resx file so that users do not need anything other than the *.dll, but at the moment I am just trying to get any of the overloads...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. 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,...

Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
