How to use resource file (like a icon file, icon1.ico) in C# codes?

[Brian]

I have already created a resource file (icon1.ico).

Hi Brian,

You need to put the icon file inside a resource file.
Use for instance a ResourceWriter to create that file.
Once a resource, build your program using /resource:<resource file> or /linkresource:<>.

For you program icon (seen in explorer etc) you need to compile with /win32icon:<icon.ico>

You can also embed the resource using VS.Net, add the .ico file to your
project and set it's build property to embedded resource. It can then be
accessed via code using the ResourceReader class or the simpler
ResourceManager class.
