Hello
This must be on a faq somewhere but despite a lot of googling
I still can't resolve this issue: I have a C# app and I would like
to see its icon displayed when the exe file is viewed in windows
explorer. The icon is an embedded resource and displays normally
in the title bar when the app is opened.
5  3610 
Click Project - Properties.
From the Property Pages select Common Properties - General and have a look
at Application Icon.
Cheers,
Phil.

Thanks for the prompt response... still no joy however :(
I do set the Application Icon...it displays correctly when
I open the app; the problem is its not displayed when
the app is listed in the windows explorer (XP, SP2)
(When I create a shortcut to the app and look at the
shortcuts properties it says that the exe contains no
icons)

I'm using VS2003, XP and SP2 and it works fine.
Correct me if I'm wrong but the icon you see in the corner of the form and
on the taskbar is the form's icon, not the application's icon?
All the Best,
Phil.

Thanks again for your response. I finally solved my problem...
it turns out that the form icon can be 32X32 but the app icon
cannot...I made a 16X16 for the app icon and it now works
fine.

Is it possible to set the application icon also programatically (I would
like to change it dynamically, from within my application) ?

Hi - I created an icon in VS.NET 2003. I did nothing more than Project->
New Item->Icon File and then used the paint tools to draw it. Then I saved
the file.
In Windows Explorer, the icon is not displayed next to the file. Just what
appears to be the default icon that appears when you select the Icon File
template from the Add New Item dialog.
If I include the icon in an image-list, the same thing happens.

hi,
I have a problem displaying icons at the right colour depthin a
ListView.
I've made an icon file, (using IconWorkshop 5), it has 3 icons within
it. A 32x32 32bpp XP style icon, a 32x32 32bpp non-xp icon (no
transparency), and a 16x16 version.
I add these icons to an ImageList, which is then assigned to the
LargeImageList property of the ListView.

I have a bitmap and make the color transparent;
mybitmap.MakeTransparent(Color.Black)
When I save it as a Icon, the black color is not transparent. However, if I
save it as a bitmap then display it using windows explorer, the black color
is in fact transparent. Could it be that the bitmap is not an alpha bitmap
that causes the icon to not have the black color transparent?

I wish to be able to copy a form's icon into a picturebox, in a similar way
to how the Windows Taskbar copies each form's icon into each of its task
panels.
I can easily read out the icon of each form by querying the .Icon property.
However, when I use the Graphics.DrawIcon method to draw this into my
picturebox, it is clearly the "large" version of the icon that is being
drawn. When I draw it with a size of 16x16 pixels, the icon is...

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,...
