Adding an icon to a user control

[Elia Karagiannis]

I have made a series of controls for the designer, but I cant seem to find
where I specify the cool icon for the toolbox.

Have you followed the steps described in the following articles?

http://www.intelprog.com/articles/index.html

and

l/cpconclassvscomponentvscontrol.asp

So, your control works in the Toolbox, but shows the cogwheel instead?

That is correct. My control works but displays the cogwheel. How can I
change that cogwheel to my own icon??

Create a bitmap icon and name it as the full name of your control. For
example:
XYZCompany.Forms.Controls.MyControl.bmp.
If you use the batch file to compile the design-time version, add the
following line to it:
/res:XYZCompany.Forms.Controls.MyControl.bmp

Just a question, but what size bitmap should you create. I got it to not
use the cogwheel, but can't really make out what is there. It looks
something like my icon with a '!' next to it
