Automatically embed multiple icons in a .NET Executable

Question

I basically have the same issue as this question: Embed multiple icons in WPF EXE

My .NET 2.0 WinForms application currently has this when you click \"Change Icon\"

Answer 1

I've just created a simple tool to do exactly this without having to mess with .res files. It is a tiny utility which you can use as part of your Post-Build event and lets you add all icon files in a particular folder to your assembly. If we assume that you have a icons folder under your main project folder you can add the following post-build event:

C:\path\to\InsertIcons.exe $(TargetPath) $(ProjectDir)icons
