Nope, i already looked at that. Thats only for Visual Studio, not Visual Basic. There is no such file in common7 on my computer.

I am also looking for the icons that used by Visual Basic .net. It must be stored in some place.

You can make your own bmp picture (size 16*16 pixel) and insert them as menu icons or context menu icons.

The only thing you should be careful is the edge of these pictures. you can paint the edge of the picture to some color, and then in vb.net set the transparent color of that controls as the same color you used.

Open up IE or Windows Explorer window and copy and paste

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\VS2008ImageLibrary\1033\

and you'll see a ZIP folder that has the icons.

If you want VB icons, they will be in the package for VS as VB is part of VS.

Nope doesn't work... The only thing that is in common7 as you refer to is 3 folders: IDE, Packages and Tools... and i have checked in all of them... no icons or .zip file librarys

Orly?

Orly?

what the orly mean? I am poor in english.

[kleinma]

orly is a sarcastic way to say "Oh Really" in English. Sort of an internet thing...

Not sure why Mr FJ felt the need to use it, perhaps he was unaware that your english is not very strong.

[kleinma]

in any event, I believe that the icon zip file is only included in the full versions of Visual Studio, and not in any express editions for any of the languages released under the express branding.

I did not know his english was not very strong. I just thought it was kind of obvious that you could make your own icons so i made a sarcastic statement

[stripling]

Creating Icon file is not easy for someone, especially who does not have an advanced icon tool.
But people can make bmp picture with microsoft windows Paint since every windows system has the free Paint tool.


By the way, does anybody know how to make excel com Add-Ins with vb.net?

I speak English, and you will be definitely frustrated if you read some posts by french guy.

[kleinma]

This program is great for making icons, and you can make icons from any valid picture formats, so you could take a picture of yourself if you wanted, and make it into an icon.

there is a trial version for I think 30 days, so you can check it out

As far as excel add-ins, that is a totally different topic. You should make a new thread if you have questions about it.

I only have the 2008 Express edition and the zip file in question is in the location in the post above.

I think the OP is looking for it in the wrong folder.

[Mr_FJ]

Well it's not there for me i can post a screen if i need to?

so could anyone maybe upload the zip file on rapidshare for me or something?

Never assume, especially here... that English is their first language... there's a huge international community here.

Also, next time... try using the sarcasm tags... go a long way to helping get the tone across.
