Before you use the answer given by prerakpatel you will probably need to unpack the zip file that you refer to.

Solution 1

Go to Project => Properties, Resource tab. Click the arrow on the "Add Resource" button, Add Existing File and select your .cur file.

And in your code, use -

VB

Dim ms As New System.IO.MemoryStream(My.Resources.Cursor1)
Button1.Cursor = New Cursor(ms)
