What format should an application icon have?
A 16x16 bit seem to work as an icon for a shortcut only.
What format should an icon have that is displayed when the program is running?
How do I specify which icon to use when running?
Do I need multiple icon files?
 
You can set an icon, to be displayed in the top-left of the Form, using the
Forms Icon property. You can set the application icon through the projects
properties. Create an ico file with at least a 16x16 and 32x32 format.
 
Yes,
I had already mastered yet. I also would like to have an icon to be
displayed when I press Alt+TAB. The regular App.ico doesn't do anything
during Alt+Tab.
 
The icon that appears when you Alt+Tab is tied to the icon for the Form. Set
an icon with both a 16x16 and 32x32 format into the Forms Icon property.
 
Tim,
This is getting interesting. I just don't understand how to do that.
I can't find the forms icon property in C#. I don't understand how an icon
can be both 16x16 and 32x3 at the same time.
 
There should be a property named "Icon" in the properties window when you
selected the Form. You can create an ico file the contains multiple formats
through VS.Net. VS.Net has an icon editor that will allow you to modify
icons and also add new formats to the ico file. See the thread linked below
for how to create multiple formats in the same ico file.
