Hi Well,

You should set the copy to output property in the icon file, otherwise gax won't be find the file.

If you want to use the builtin icons those comes from the

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC#\VCSPackages\csproj.dll,

assembly, you can check the icon ids there

Build action = Content
Copy -> Copy Always

Doesn't show up...

I even tried the dll you mentioned, but th eicons just won't show up....

Is it because i have my own commandbar or is there some fuzzy logic somehere that determines wheter or not to show an icon.....

I do ghet icons for my CSHARP projects, but there are also BizTalk Projects with and they wont work for BizTalk projects
