Icon of own control

[Heike]

I have just created an own control. I know how to include it into the toolbox. But I would like my control have a specific icon in the toolbox. How can I do it?

Easy . First your image should be 16X16 with color of 16bit . Then add that as resource file . Change Build action as embedded resource. After that , add this attribute to your class . like so :

[ToolboxItem(true)]
[ToolboxBitmap(typeof(myprojectname))]
public class blah : foo .

that's all .

For distributive purposes, Pirate's method is the one you want. For your own in-house use, just include a bmp with the same name as the class of your control. The IDE will automatically pick it up.
