Adding icon on user control

[Ellis Yu]

Hi all,

I'd tried to follow the instructions from msdn for adding icon image
for a control. I've checked the name of bmp file is same as the control name
and turn the bmp file to "Embedded Resource". After building the project
again, the icon of my user control is the same as default. I'm not sure it's
related to my VB.Net version is a standard edition or not. Anyone know
what's wrong my steps? Thanks

Create a 16 x 16 pixd give it the name of the class ('Class BlaBla' ->
"BlaBla.bmp"). Then you can add the bitmap to the project and set its build
action to embedded resource. Extend your code like this:

\\\
<ToolboxBitmap(GetType(BlaBla))>
Public Class BlaBla
