Hi,
I want to display and icon in my button. So, first of all:
1. I add to my project Resources dir and than Incons subdir.
2. I've copied .ico file to Incons subdir, and than in VS by "Add existing item" to Icons dir add this ico file to the project.
3. Create a button in form and try to add image in properties. The effect was "Invalid properity.. " or sth like that.

Could somebody tell me why ?

Thanks,

For buttons you can directly use jpg format. Give it a try once. No need to convert to .ico!

But I already have many .ico files. I have to convert them to jpg format ?

Use some online converter. Search for "Convert ico to jpg online" in google. You will get it!
