Custom Solution Explorer Icon for Component

[Guest]

I have a class inherited from component with a specialized designer. I would
like to know how I can customize the icon that appears next to my class name
in the solution explorer. Right now, the only icon that will appear is the
Component icon which is the same for any class inherited from Component.

For example, I would like to know how Visual Studio knows to change the icon
in the solution explorer when a class inherits from System.Windows.Forms.Form.

Please note, that I am not asking how to set the icon in the toolbox.

Hi Jon,

I would like to know how I can customize the icon that
appears next to my class name in the solution explorer.

I am afraid the icon you concerned is not customizable in Visual Studio
IDE, we don't expose an interface/property about this feature.

Thanks for your understanding!


Best regards,
