I think you do not understand the question. The problem is that the tool (XSD.EXE) generates code that uses arrays. Arrays are limiting since it is difficult to add to or remove items from them. I was looking for another tool (that used a more appropriate collection) or an easy workaround. Perhaps I could have phrased my question better. The limitation I mentioned was intended to mean that the tool generated arrays, not that of arrays themselves. Even at this late stage, I appreciate your answer. However, I believe you misread the question.

Well, all those images together form only one icon, so you better make sure they all look alike. I know of no way to pick a specific image from an icon. If you want to pick a specific icon from many, keep them well apart, i.e. in separate files, or in separate resources. BTW there also exists a way to pack multiple icons (each possibly with multiple images) into a single file, I have forgotten all details tho. Maybe its called an icon list ? :) Luc Pattyn
