Add the image fie to your project and then in the item properties set the
Build Action to EmbeddedResource

Click to expand...

Add the icon file to your project and set its 'Build Action' property to
'Embedded Resource'. You can use the code below to load the icon at
runtime:

\\\
foo.Icon = _
New Icon( _
[Assembly].GetExecutingAssembly().GetManifestResourceStream( _
"WindowsApplication1.Ball.ico" _
) _
)
///

'WindowsApplication1' is the root namespace of the application, "Ball.ico"
is the icon's filename.
