Creating ICON no through the properties

[Guest]

Hi,

I want to add icon to my form (on the left corner of the form, where the fom
text is), but i can't use the property window. how can i do it through the
code?

my Icon path now is d:\temp. when i'll finish my project and take the *.exe
file and put it on a different computer, do i have to put my icon file too or
does it complied into the exe file?

Thanks,
Gidi.

Gidi,

You could place it in the resources for the exe.

If you know that it isn't going to change, then it is better to set it
as a resource for your exe, and then get it from there.

If you have a need to load it from disk, you can just call the static
GetEntryAssembly method on the Assembly class. This will give you the entry
point for your program. Once that is done, you can get the Location
property to find out where your assembly is on disk, and then load your
icon, and set the property on the form.

Hope this helps.

Gidi,

If you set the icon to a file on disk, the designer will automatically
place it in a resource file and then load it from that.

Nicholas,

I'm sorry, but i don't understand the meaning. do you mean by setting the
icon to a file on disk, that i need to change the icon property in my Form?
becuase as i said, i can't enter the designer mode, i have to do it from the
code, can you please give me an example?

Sorry for nagging,
Gidi.

Gidi,

If that is the case, then you can reference my previous post, which
refers you to the GetEntryAssembly method on the Assembly class.
