You can set the application icon in the project properties. If you are
using VS.NET, you can draw your icons inside VS.NET.

Yes, drawing the icon in the project is what I had in
mind. I just don't know how to get to that window where
the drawing surface is. This is what I referred to as the
resource editor. May I ask how you access that window in
the project?

Thanks,
TL

Have you already tried to add the icon to your solution and then
doubleclicking it in solution explorer?

(Sorry, I don't have VS.NET at hand at the moment.)

I figured this out, I go to Add New Item/Icon File. Kind
of like MFC where you select a file to add to your
project. The nice thing about VS.Net is that you can do
almost anything in one language (VB.Net) that you can do
in another (C#), just slightly different syntax. This is
so much more convenient than VS6.0.

Thank you for your replies to my post.
