Grasshopper

algorithmic modeling for Rhino

Hi all,

I'm learning to use VS 2010 ( C#, Express ) and have written a simple component.

It works, until I try to give it an icon.

In the project's Properties, I loaded the image file under Resources,

and then I saw under Application that resources are managed by 'Icon and manifest'.

That can also be set as 'Resource file', but then a file path is required.

Is 'Icon and manifest' OK, or have I to set thing differently ?

Also, in the class code I inserted the following:

( I saw it mentioned here in the forum )

        protected override Bitmap Icon
        {
            get { return Resources.colour; }
        }

( colour.png is the image file's name )

but VS gives me an error, saying:

Error    1    The name 'Resources' does not exist in the current context    C:\Program Files\Rhinoceros 5 Evaluation\gh\plug-ins\ColourRhOb\Class1.cs    88    26    ColourRhOb

Did I miss a reference in the code ? Here they are:

using System;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using Grasshopper.Kernel;
using Grasshopper.Kernel.Types;
using Rhino;
using Rhino.DocObjects;
using Rhino.Geometry;


What am I doing wrong ?

Thanks

try Properties.Resources.colour? I think it's something like that...

Thanks a lot, Andrew !

'Properties' is exactly what I was missing.

Cheers
