Bonnie,
That is what I figured someone would say. I was hoping I could just use code and not have to use the designer for this, but oh well.

>>I found something that I didn't expect today when running an app on my test computer. I created a very basic form class, just setting the backcolor and the icon property. See code below:

>>public class alsForm: System.Windows.Forms.Form
>>{
>>	public override Color BackColor
>>	{
>>		get{return base.BackColor;}
>>		set{;}
>>	}
>>
>>	public alsForm()
>>	{
>>		base.BackColor = ALS.Subclass.Controls.alsDefaultSettings.alsBACK_COLOR;
>>		base.Icon = new Icon(@"C:\work\Images\Icon\Alliance_Logo.ico");
>>	}
>>}
>>

>>
>>If I use this alsForm in my project things are looking great, but if I try to run the exe on a different computer an exception is thrown stating, quite correctly, that the icon can not be found in the location C:\work\Images\Icon\Alliance_Logo.ico.
>>
>>Why isn't the icon built into the exe? How can I force the icon to be built into the exe?
>>
>>
>>Thanks,

>>Update: I want to use the same icon on all the forms as the icon I select for the exe icon.
