Icons used in image list in tree and list boxes appear with black
backgrounds. This happens for application icons also. The icons work on some
Pocket PCs. They are standard 16x16, 16-colour icons. Editor used: VC 3003,
but some were unmodified Windows icons.
Does anyone else found this problem and possibly a fix?

I've confirmed an error with the serialization of icons in the resource
file of an application.
What is happening is that the entire imagestream of an imagelist is not
serialized, just each individual bitmap and the fact that its an icon is
lost during this serialization.
The workaround has been posted earlier by Jeff Jackson. It is to load the
icon file embedded in the resources directly. As in:

this.m_imageList.Images.Add(new
Icon(System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetManifestResourceSt
ream("MyApp.myicon.ico")));
this.m_imageList.ImageSize = new System.Drawing.Size(16, 16);

Let me know if you have a problem with this.
