Definition |
filename |
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.

Example
The following code compiles In.vb and attaches an .ico file, Rf.ico.
vbc /win32icon:rf.ico in.vb
