In other development environments i've used the IDE had
facilities to create custom icons for the application and
files it created. It would be nice to have a custom icon
for a created file, but it is more important to give the
application its own icon. I've looked in over ten books in
VB.net programming and none of them cover this issue. How
do I do it or where do I find the info?
Thanks,

When selecting the project in the solution explorer window, choose Add Item
and then select ICON, you can then edit this as you see fit.

As far as giving the application its own icon, open '<Project>
Properties...' under the Project menu. Under 'Common Properties' 'Build' is
the property for 'Application icon'

properties.

If you use VS.NET Professional or better, you can use its built-in icon
editor. Just select "File" -> "New" -> "File..." -> "Icon" and design
your icon.

David and One Hand Man - thank you for your replies. They
should get me going. Wish I had as clear a response to my
'where to get the file path/name/s when dropped on the
Application icon?' question.

You can specify that the icon be external to the .exe or included. If
external, you can specify the filename and path. This is done from within
project properties General/Build ( Icon location ).
