winforms - Making icon for a Windows Form: How to make it show up correctly? -


ok, have built windows form application. want icon it. use icon editor built visual studio 2012. draw out nice , purdy. once done, have .ico file , make default icon project, , icon 1 winform in application.

unfortunately, not show have created it! displayed default icon file existed before modified in icon editor. it's 32x32 4 bit icon. if change extension .bmp shows default.

it looks vs icon editor editing else, not appearance of icon. can tell me doing wrong?

i used have progam called iconart create icons looked icons when used them in vs. iconart abandonware , won't run on 64bit windows workstation.

since didn't answers within time hoping, posted question in msdn visual studio forum, , got answer thought should post here. credit reed copsey, jr, answer!

this it:

you'll need put design in of different versions. ico files contain multiple versions of same image, different screen resolutions.

my personal preference not use vs - there's ico plugin paint.net (all free) allows make single image (typically 256x256), , save multiple versions within ico file in 1 shot. it's useful building icons.

see http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?/topic/927-icon-cursor-and-animated-cursor-format-v37-may-2010/ plugin.

since paint.net user, plugin sounded great idea, , tried it. bingo! works nicely.

scala - 'wrong top statement declaration' when using slick in IntelliJ -

Image
i'm porting project scala 2.9 2.10, therefore have use slick instead of scalaquery. i'm using slick 2.1.0 since supports ms access. according this tutorial , upgrade guide changed robs object class , added val robs : why error message wrong top statement declaration , how rid of it? edit: i'm new scala... according this question seems can't put val outside of methods or classes, right? code above directly in packge. right approach slick then? should move code in class or trait? according this changed val robs = tablequery[robs] to object robs extends tablequery(new robs(_)) {} . no warnings or errors anymore. :)
