Icons in the exe file

[Ashutosh]

Hi,
I am trying to include icons in my .net exe so that I can select those icons
for the shell, like setting the icons of shortcuts, icons for some file
types, etc...

I tried to include the icons in the Resource files, with different
'Persistance' propery set, added icons directly to the solutions with
different 'Build Action' property set.

But the only icon that appears when I try to select an icon through the
windows explorer is the one that I selected for the application from the
project properties.

Please advice.

Regards,
Ashutosh

Also, if you open the executable in the Visual Studio environment you can
add icons. I have tested this in VS2003 (the version I have on this PC).
Not sure about newer versions.

Can you explain a little what it is that you mean? Are you saying to add the
executable to a project?

Hi Todd,

no, if you just open up VS2003 then use the Open File command to open the
EXE you will be able to modify and add icons.
