icon help

[Siten0308]

Hello,

I am now starting to roll with programming, i have two questions, 1st, i am trying to embede an icon that is 32x32 and has extension .ico and i first created using paint, and shrank it, save as .ico, and when trying to use C# 2008, it gives error message "Argument 'picture' must be a picture that can be used as a icon". I have tried downloading an icon that is 32x32 for the heck of it, and yes it is .ico, but still same thing, is there something i am missing, and can i just use some sorta code to pull it as an object and embede it on my forms? if so how and can you show an example?

second, can you provide like several links that help explain more on collections and C# with xml? that is the next step i am doing to help with my C# programming. is there anything else i should learn in C# besides collections, properties, constructors, like is comparison or conversions important?

I had a similar problem, let me know if you get help?

C# does seem to be a little picky with .ico files. Officially though, they should be 16x16 pixels.

Hey Xav,

I will try that and let you guys know, hopefully by today if not tomorrow for sure.

Thanks again,

FYI (i will try 16x16)

[Xav]

Yes, 16x16 is the size it actually appears as.

Hello Xav... AAHH! didnt work...(pulls hair out).... anything else i can try, i will research myself but if you can save me the time and the hair that would be great : )

That is annoying.

Just try getting some icon libraries off the internet? They are sure to work.
