The .ico file to add to your output file. Enclose the file name in quotation marks (" ") if it contains a space. |
Remarks
You can create an .ico file with the Microsoft Windows Resource Compiler (RC). The resource compiler is invoked when you compile a Visual C++ program; an .ico file is created from the .rc file. The -win32icon and -win32resource options are mutually exclusive.
See -linkresource (Visual Basic) to reference a .NET Framework resource file, or -resource (Visual Basic) to attach a .NET Framework resource file. See -win32resource to import a .res file.
