Application icon

#1

Hi

I have an applciation in JSharp. Does anyone know how to associate an icon
with the application, so that the icon appears whne the .exe is browsed in
Windows Explorer? I have tried embedding the icon file.

In CSharp it is a project property, but the corresponding property does not
seem to be present for JSharp projects.

Any help appreciated.

Regards

Mike

Sorry I'm not online when I'm writing this so I don't have a direct link,
but here are the steps from the MSDN lib.

Please search for "KB324969" in the MSDN lib (or Q324969).

Knowledge Base

This step-by-step article describes how to add an application icon to a
Visual J# .NET application.

The Microsoft Visual Basic .NET and Microsoft Visual C# .NET /win32icon
compiler option inserts an icon (.ico) file in the output file, which
gives
the output file the appearance that you want in Windows Explorer. The
Visual
J# .NET compiler does not support the /win32icon option. To work around
this, you can create a resource compiler script file for the icon, and
then
create a resource (.res) file by using the Rc.exe utility. You can add the
resource file to a Visual J# .NET application by using the compiler
/win32res option.

Add an Application Icon to a Visual J# .NET Application
In Notepad, use the following code to create a resource compiler script
file
that references the icon:

1 ICON "icon.ico"

Save the file in Notepad as Icon.rc.

Run the following at a command prompt to create a resource (.res) file
named
Icon.res:
rc icon.rc

Compile the Visual J# .NET application and reference the icon resource
file
(Icon.res) by using the /win32res option. You can do this from the command
line or in the Microsoft Visual Studio development environment. To do this
from the command line, run the following command:

vjc /win32res:icon.res app.jsl

To do this from the Microsoft Visual Studio development environment:

Open the Property Pages dialog box for the project.
Click the Configuration Properties folder.
Click the Advanced tab.
Add the following to the Additional Options property:

/win32res:icon.res

The resulting .exe file will have the appropriate icon next to it when you
view it in Windows Explorer.
