Does .NET have icon collections?

Question

Does .NET framework have a collection of icons for use in Windows Forms or WPF application somewhere? How does one use it? For example, how do I use it as an application win

Answer 1

AFAIK there isn't a collection of pre-built icons - but there a millions of high quality icons available on the web if you just search for them.

Once you have an icon (.ico) file, you can add it to your project resources. Just open the Resources.resx file, and at the top switch it to view Icons, and then "Add existing file..."

Then, to set the application icon, get Properties on your Project and in the Application tab (at the bottom) choose the icon in the drop-down box.

For any Form, set this.Icon = Resources.IconName; to use it as the Form's icon.
