I have a .ico that I want to add to several class library DLL projects, using Visual Studio Pro 2008. For each project, I added the ico, set the built type to 'embedded resource' and set the icon in the project prefs page. Still the icon is the default.

What did I miss?

Thanks.

I didn't think DLL files could have their own icon shown in Windows Explorer?Sam Harwell

DLLs can't have icons assigned, they are associated with the file system and go by what icon is assigned to all DLLs.

It is a global OS thing...
