Hello everyone,

I have been at VB.NET for a very short while now (about 1 month) and I can say without a doubt my knowledge of VB has continued to amplify from the information posted in these forums. Thank you!

Along with my first post I also have a question about setting an icon for my application .exe file.

I have read that I need to go to Project > properties then on the Application tab there is a section to change the icon from the default to something else. However when I do this and choose the icon that I want, I get an error when I use the debug to run my application.

It says "Unable to write to output file C:/... the specified image file did not contain a resource section"

I have no idea what this means and could use some guidance.

Sorry for the long post :)

What type of icon are you trying to use? Usually this kind of problem is due to a compatibility issue with the icon. For example, if you try to use a Windows Vista icon you will recieve this error.
