If you are using VS.NET, you can create icons:

"File" -> "New" -> "File..." -> "Icon".

Image or Bitmap? If you have a bitmap use it's gethicon function and pass it
to the constructor of the Icon class.

At runtime or at design time? At design time: Copy the image in, for example, MS Paint,
then paste it into VS.NET's icon editor. At runtime:
