Getting application Icon
-
Hi, I made a Form derivated class and I'd like to put some code in the Load event so when I use it, it will get the application icon (if any) and show it in the top left corner (as any windows software). I saw I few methods but they assume I know the namespace and the icon name, but as I told you the form may be used in any application, so I have to find out those informations too... Thanks, Dirso

An application can have many icons, which one do you want?

Well, that's because you have to choose between the many potential icons that may exist in your application.

Actually, you didn't. This is the first time you mentioned that piece of information.

Try putting the following code in the constructor for your form. It should pick up the Icon for any app in which it is included.
this.Icon = Icon.ExtractAssociatedIcon(System.Reflection.Assembly.GetEntryAssembly().Location);Henry Minute If you open a can of worms, any valid solution *MUST* involve a larger can!
