Question

_{Saturday, May 16, 2009 6:07 PM}

can i change my applicatipn exe icon from one to another at runtime programatically?
for example:
if i create an application with C# 3 to check the time, and i make a condition like that:

(if the time is am)
{
    the application set the exe icon to icon1.ico 
}
else
{
    the application set the exe icon to icon2.ico
}

is that clear?
is that possible?

Is it form icon? The icon displayed in the top left corner.

this.Icon = new System.Drawing.Icon("shuttle.ico");

This code is belongs to form icon that appears in the title bar of the form as you said,

You try to swap executable icon. it hard to do with .NET, many examples on the web with vb6 and c++, but i found tutorials how to do it, is a C++ / MFC program. You can try to see if you can convert the code to C#. http://www.codeguru.com/cpp/w-p/win32/tutorials/print.php/c12873__1/

If it is a Windows Form, to change the leftmost Icon on to the form:

Try the following line of code in the Form_Load Event:

{

this.Icon=new System.Drawing.Icon(@"Mention the path of ICO file!!!");

}
