Try this out:
1. Create a project called "WindowsApplication1"
2. Add an icon called "MSN.ICO" to the project
3. In the properties for the icon (click on it in the solution explorer),
select "Embedded Resource" for "Build Action"
4. Open Form1
5. Add a toolbar, and then a toolbarbutton in the toolbar
6. Add an imagelist component
7. Add the following in the constructor for the Form _AFTER_ the call to
InitializeComponent.
Icon icon = new
Icon(this.GetType().Module.Assembly.GetManifestResourceStream("WindowsApplic
ation1.MSN.ICO"));
this.imageList1.Images.Add(icon);
this.toolBar1.ImageList = this.imageList1;
this.toolBarButton1.ImageIndex = 0;
you should then see the icon with transparency correctly applied to the
button on your toolbar.
