C# Icon Resource Error

[kleptos]

I am working on a keygen (dont get the wrong idea, its for an encryption algorithm example from Microsoft, not a tool for illegally stealing software) and i am building it using the .NET Framework, and not VS.NET or any IDE. Below is the code to compile the application on the command line. When i compile, everything runs great. However when i run the exe i get an error(see below). If i got my code right, it should use the embeded resource App.ico as the icon for the form, or so i thought, but i get this error. Any help would be appreciated.

 

csc /t:winexe /out:Keygen.exe /res:App.ico /r:Crypto.dll /win32icon:App.ico Keygen.cs AssemblyInfo.cs 

 

this.Icon = new Icon(GetType(),"App.ico");

assuming you have got the Icon embeded , try this...

this.Icon=new Icon(this.GetType().Assembly.GetManifestResourceStream("over_rides_c.Icon1.ico"));
/// replacing over_rides_c with your app's name.

I get the same error. Am i compiling the icon correctly?

Actually, that did work, i just had to modify it a little. I didnt include the application name, just the file name.

 

this.Icon=new Icon(this.GetType().Assembly.GetManifestResourceStream(".Icon1.ico"));

I think you should first create a *.resources-File from the Icon with the tool named "Resgen.exe"...

 

resgen App.ico App.ico.resources

 

the next step would be compiling...

 

csc /t:winexe /out:Keygen.exe /res:App.ico.resources /r:Crypto.dll /win32icon:App.ico Keygen.cs AssemblyInfo.cs

 

hope this helps!

The resource idea worked too. Took me a little while longer to get it to work, but i got it. Thanks for all the help.
