This will tell you how stupid I am with C# plugins : I can’t even assign an icon to a component.
I’m trying to be a good boy and do exactly what the template file tells me, but even that will throw an error in my face !
So what’s the deal here ?
Is your icon in “Project → Properties → Resources”?
My icon is in “Project → Resources”, as shown in this tutorial.
Ugh… yet another explanation.
So how exactly do I go about and do that ?
1 - Test “BlockTools.Ressources.Icon1” instead of “Resources.Icon1”?
2 - With
Do you have something like this in “Resources.Designer.cs”
Otherwise, close VS, delete “Resources.resx” and “Resources.Designer.cs”, open VS and add your resource image again (to re-generate this file)
Nope. Doesn’t work.
I have this :
Yeah, I guess I’ll try that, thanks.
I’m amazed at how convoluted such a simple task is with C#…
Sorry ! test: “BlockTools.Properties.Resources.Icon1”
Good your resource is found!
Now show me the screen of your
You must add your resource in “Images” and not in “Icons”
Yes the bad thing about C # is the project file
Sorry, I’m completely lost.
As I told you, I followed the video tutorial … et voilà.
I don’t know how to get this display …Libx* ? What’s that ?
look at the difference

Your project:
-
My project
it is my project !!
Wait, wait I got it : Libx is the name of your project, so you are talking about this :
OK, but that was done automatically. As I told you, I just followed the darn video !
So basically, somehow, my icon is of the type “Icon” instead of being an image.
Duh…
1 - remove this Icon
2 - change the tab “Icons” by “Images”
3 - append your image
4 - We ignore the video here 
Yeah, there’s something fishy with that video.
In fact, he doesn’t go on and reference the icon in the component.
Thanks.
I’ll be back if I prove to be completely hopeless.
It actually really isnt…add a new item of type resource, double click that and click on “add resource”, done.
