Each one of them tells me the syntax is wrong.

If File.Exists(FileName) Then

I am planning on being able to drag an XML file and the application goes into an import mode to create a new record in the DB. I think I may need to have an identifier in the header of the file such as ClientImg or the likes so that the App looks for that to let it know it is the proper file type. Note to JMC: I would look this up, but I do not know what it is called

I'm trying to use SHFILEINFO to get the high res icon off of a file. I've been able to get the stnadard (32X32 16 color) icons, but I can't seem to grab the high res version.
I'm using the sample code from: [URL]
I have uncommented the section for the high res icon and removed the code for the small icon. I'm still only getting the standard icon. I have also tried 'ExtractAssociatedIcon' as recomended by other threads here, but this also only gives me the standard icon.
I'm not sure exactly if the folder icon is in shell32.dll, but nonetheless if it is.Basically, whenever I come across a folder in a FileSystem list, I want to add the icon for a folder to the image list that I am using for the ListView. The problem is that I'm not sure how to reference a specific icon location in a icon collection in a dll.Is this possible with Icon.ExtractAssociatedIcon and shell32.dll?

View 5 RepliesI'm sick of my EXE files only looking decent in one view in explorer (ie List or Tiles etc) because I can only figure out how to specify one icon file for my projects so it has to be a specific size and if its too big it looks rubbish at smaller sizes in explorer, and vice versa if its too small. So how can I embed more than one icon file and make it automatically select the correct one to display in explorer depending on the view? I believe you can store more than one icon in an ICO file, so do you have to just combine the various size icons into one ICO and then explorer will automatically select the correct sized on? Or is it something you have to do within the VB project?
