I currently have the following code but I would like to get away from going to a physical location. If I have the icon as a resource, how can I programatically add the icon? I don't want to use the form's designer to do this.
Sub Form1_Load() Dim ico As New System.Drawing.Icon("C:Resourcesicon.ico") Me.Icon = ico End Sub
Im trying to make the an icon for the form work with my own icon, because all programs have their own(like ie hat the e and paint.net has their logo), but whenever I put in my icon phote(and it is saved as .Ico) it comes up with the error: Argument 'picture' must be a picture that can be used as an icon. I have the same measurments as the defult one(32 by 32) so what am i doing wrong?
I need to save Bitmap object loaded from image file (.png, .jpeg, .bmp) and save it as an icon (.ico) to a separate file.
First I tried saving Bitmap object to a file with Icon ImageFormat:
using System.Drawing; Bitmap bmp = (Bitmap)pictureBox1.Image; bmp.Save(@"C:icon.ico", Imaging.ImageFormat.Icon);
This one fails, as the icon produced is not in a proper format and it cannot be used as an icon.
Next one was to get HIcon from Bitmap and save it to a file:
using System.Drawing; using System.IO; StreamWriter iconWriter = new StreamWriter(@"C:icon.ico");
[Code]....
This one does not do the job too. Although icon file is properly written, it has only 16 colors and a limited width and height.
I'd like to be able to write icons with custom width and height that would preserve colors from the original image. Is this possible to achive in .NET?
Im having some problems when trying to save an icon from resources.Im using the following: My.Resources.setup3.Save(Application.StartupPath + "\temp.ico") But that generates the following error: QuoteValue of type 'String' cannot be converted to 'System.IO.Stream'.

What the icon file filter is for load/save file dialogs. (I know the jpeg one is "JPEG Files (*.jpg)|*.jpg|PNG Files (*.png)|*.png|BMP Files (*.bmp)|*.bmp|All files (*.*)|*.*" But as far as I know you can't use these as icons without an icon editor).

I need to save the form settings, like a save state of the form. Because the program allows the user to add controls. I would like to be able to save them and load them. BTW: The controls are Panels and Labels. BUT! The Panels are a modified version of the control, known as NewComp. This simply allows the user to drag the panel around the form.

I have one program with many, many forms in it and the same program is used for two companies. Basically, when a user starts the program the data location is set depending on which of the two companies is being used. Therefore, I am trying to dynamically set the icon for each form based upon which company is being used. I didn't want to add code on every form to set the icon, which is mostly what I found when I was searching for a solution.
