Question

I need to set the default icon that VS uses for the project to another Icon withing my project. Is there an easy way to access this?

I tried going to .Properties.Resources but it doesn’t seem to be there. Is it stored on my computer somewhere or is it built into the application?

Mark Hall got this right in his comment above.

I worded my question a little inaccurately. I needed to match an icon in my project to that default Icon, and substituting the “SetValue” function mentioned there with the “GetValue” worked wonders:

  FieldInfo iconField = typeof(Form).GetField("defaultIcon",
            BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Static);
  myIcon = (Icon)iconField.GetValue(iconField)
