HOWTO: Set this.Icon to App.ico in a windows form

[Dan Sikorsky]

How do you set the this.Icon property of a windows form to the App.ico file
specified in the Project Properties? I don't want to type in the path and
filename; I want to set the form's icon programmatically in the Form Load
section.

Hi,

Try this...

System.Drawing.Icon ico = new System.Drawing.Icon("C:\\soaf.ico");
this.Icon = ico;

Hope this helps...

Cheers,

First you need to set the BuildAction property of the App.ico file to
Embedded resource, then you can use the ResourceManager class to set the
icon for your form.

Let me know if you get stuck.

Thanks for the example, but I explicitly requested a different solution:
