Changing image and putting in different folder.

[newlearner14]

My application works, but i'm not sure how to get it to the "games" folder and how to add an image instead of the standard .exe image it has. Like, next to the name of the application. Thanks.

Ok, translating - you want to save an image file from the form in the same directory as your "exe" (or aspx/ash).

Now trying to interpret, are you trying to save the icon of an exe or are they submitting an image that is going to be saved in "games?"

Are you trying to overwrite the icon for an EXE on the client computer?

I'll try to be a little more clear. Usually, when i install the application on the mobile device, it saves to the same folder in the file explorer. So, instead, i want to put the the application in the "games" folder. It just has a regular .exe icon, which is a blank white page. I want to change it to a custom picture. Thanks. Wait, i accidentally posted this on the wrong place. It's supposed to go to the mobile development. Sorry guys! Should i repost this?

No, I'll move it for you.

Thanks and sorry for the trouble.

To change the icon click on Project>Properties and on the application tab, change the Icon to whatever you want.

On the devices tab, change the output file folder.

This is only deploying from the development environment. If you want to deploy to a different folder, this is done in your setup project, about which questions have been asked and answered in the last couple of weeks.

Ok thanks. However, th icon doesn't show up... it works fine on the desktop .exe, but for the mobile device, it just shows a blank icon. maybe the icon needs to be smaller? right now i have it at 16x16.

[newlearner14]

it works when i "test" or deploy it. However, when i use it as a .CAB file and move it to the phone and install it there, it doesn't go to the right directory or show the icon.

How do u deploy something using windows mobile device center (vista) and vs 2008? thanks.

32*32 I think for the application icon. You need to change the deployment path in your setup project.
