Enterprise Manager-like application

[Guest]

I wanted to build my own custom version of Enterprise Manager using vb.net.
Where can I get the icons/pictures that enterprise manager uses (eg the
icons used in the treeviews for database, table, user, stored procedure,
user-defined function etc)

I wouldn't think that would be legal.

But you can always make your own.

Shane,

I wouldn't think that would be legal.

AFAIK is it in most countries illegal.

(Before somebody ask it, I don't know any country where it is legal).

Just my 2 eurocents

Unless arch is planning on redistributing his custom app, I think that using
the icons on his own machine (very easy to create GIFs using a screen shot)
would come under fair use...

You can go to download.com and find several shareware / freeware
applications for extracting icons from .exe and .dll files. Also worth
mentioning is that the sample applications that come with SQL Server include
a VB 6.0 project that uses DMO to create a simplistic Enterprise Manager
style application.

Have you looked at the available alternatives?

At least one (myLittleAdmin) provides an API for further
customisations.
