Heya NG,
I've got a little confusing configuration scenario:
I've created a simple windows form in c# with Visual Studio 2003.NET
and simultaneously with VS 2005.
I've designed an Icon as well in both Studios and attached it to the
forms via the properties window. I've changed the project properties as
well and set the icon as application icon. By the way the icon is
layered by the 16x16 and 32x32 size (target image type).
So far no problem but running the exe the following appearance comes
up:
- in the VS 2005 app everything works fine, the icon is shown on the
form, visible while switching task by Alt-Tab key and (because it is
also configured as a notification icon) shown in the task bar
notification area with transparent background.
- in VS 2003 the icon background is NOT transparent !? And switching by
Alt-Tab key there is only the system standard windows icon visible !?
Perhaps you can guess which question is now coming up ;) ... why the
hell is that?
by the way the windows system is XP professional
Thank for hints and comments

ok, perhaps someone can just give me the appropriate way to create
icons in VS 2003. Which layout to use for the icon which appears for
the app when pressing "Alt-Tab" key?

Thanks for reply, but I still have the strange behaviour that "Alt-Tab"
still shows Windows default icon even if my application icon is set as
app property as well as form property :( .
Have you checked in the icon editor, that it doesn't include any
graphic at all of the windows default icon?

please help a blind to find the aim :) - how do I check this in VS 2003
??
Once you have the VS2003 icon editor open, you can see which graphics
are included by going to
Image - Current icon image types
and there is a list where you can choose which one to display and edit

Hi,
I have a form with a tray icon. However, when I minimize the form, it
stays visible - not in the task bar (I have showintaskbar property set
to false), but in a form of a rectangle sitting above the task bar.
Can't figure out why that happens - it looks very ugly...
Any ideas ?
