Why C Games Dont Use Bitmaps

 

Importing a Project Icon

It is almost impossible to import an image from elsewhere and force it into the icon format because the format is so rigid. However, if you have already created a 32 pixel by 32 pixel icon in 16 colors and want to use it in this project, you can retrieve it by highlighting the Form1 window template (to bring its properties into the Properties window), scrolling down in the Properties window to Window Style | Icon, and clicking on the icon in the right column. This opens a small icon at the right edge of the right column with three dots in it (the Browse icon). When you click on the Browse icon, the Open File window appears and you are free to find an icon file (with the extension *.ico) anywhere on your PC. Once you open the icon file (by double-clicking on the filename), the IDE places that file into your project. However, the chances of importing an icon into your project that is acceptable to C# version 2.0 are slim. Besides, it is easy to create a new icon with the tools that Microsoft provides in the IDE.
