Hi everyone,

Before going much further i'll mention I have tried solutions in following:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/198848/set-application-icon-from-resources-in-vs-05

I am trying to set an icon for my application.

AFAIK, I need potentially 3 images?

• 1 image is the actual image in explorer when clicking on the .exe (thumbnail for the exe)
• 1 image (tiny) in the top left corner (16 x 16? Not entirely sure)
• 1 image in the start menu dock, to the left of the app (maybe 32x32? again not sure)

So thats fine.

Now I have selected an Icon. How do I use it in one of above situations?

I have tried adding it in resources, nothing seems to happen. Following that first SO solution,

"First go to Resource View (from menu: View --> Other Window --> Resource View). Then in Resource View navigate through resources, if any. If there is already a resource of Icon type, added by Visual Studio, then open and edit it. Otherwise right-click and select Add Resource, and then add a new icon."

The resource view is empty, and I cannot right click in this view.

If I right click on the solution > properties > resources > I can add the icon image, but it doesn't show in either of the locations listed above. (or anywhere that I can see)

What am I doing wrong?
