Einar,

Well, if you really want to be masochistic, there *is* some way of getting an image/icon/whatever into the resource (System.Resource.ResourceManager), but I don't know how off the top of my head ... I think it's a bit more complicated than just than a few lines of code (and I've never had to do it, so don't quote me on that <g>).

>>Set the icon with the Form's icon property from the Property Sheet instead of in code. It will embed it that way.

>>>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,
>>>Einar

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