I am working on a .NET application and I set the App Icon to an icon that
the default image was 32x32 pixels. On the PocketPC it shows up with only a
quarter of it (16x16). I tried changing the icon and redeploying it, but it
always seems to remember the old icon. Where is this cached and how can I
change it?

Thanks

Hi,
Change your icon from .Net and save your project.
Then,you delete old icon from pocketPc.
Run your project and then soft Reset PocketPc.
You will see your new icon.

a.l.t.a.n

You will need both a 16x16 and a 32x32 icon in the icon file. One for the
start menu (16x16) and one for teh programs screen (32x32)

Brian, Altan and John,

When I did my icons (months ago now), I found that the VS .NET 2003 Icon
utility did not allow for the creating of two different sizes of icons. I
ended up designing the 16x16 and 32x32 pixel icons in eVC Tools and added it
into my C# project. Once this done, all was well on the IPAQ.

Regards,
Neville Lang

Neville,

I agree it is far from obvious but the VS.Net editor can be used to create a
multiple image incon file.
Load an icon into the image editor, right click in the editor outside the
image and select "New Image Type". You can then select the required second
image size/type. It will look as if the second image has wiped out the first
one but it hasn't.
Right click again and select "Current Icon Image Types" where you can then
select which of the images you would like to edit. When you save the icon
both images are saved.

John.

John,

Thank you for that information. I will definitely keep it for my next
project icon. I wondered why such a simple thing was not supplied in VS .NET
2003 - you have added to my knowledge in this area.

Neville Lang
