Add the icon file to your project and set its 'Build Action' property to
'Embedded Resource'. You can use the code below to load the icon at
runtime:

\\\
foo.Icon = _
New Icon( _
[Assembly].GetExecutingAs sembly().GetMan ifestResourceSt ream( _
"WindowsApplica tion1.Ball.ico" _
) _
)
///

'WindowsApplica tion1' is the root namespace of the application, "Ball.ico"
is the icon's filename.
