Icon not displayed correctly for custom component

So i finally figured out how to create custom transform and add an icon to it. However - when i added the component to toolbox it appears as a file icon (when i didnt have icon it appeared as a blue box) - in the data flow designer it appears as the correct image.

From BOL wrote:

"The Data Flow toolbox uses the 16x16, 16-color image type, while

the design surface of the data flow tab uses the 32x32, 16-color image

type. Both are default image types for icons created using Microsoft

Visual Studio 2005."

I assume this has something to do with it - my ico is default 32x32 - however, what would be the way to fix it?

hi,

i think this this is

the same as my problem before.

Your Integration service is running on limited permission

close visual studion

run services.msc

change the logon with a more privelege user

and the restartn the services

regards,

joey

Make sure you have both sized icons in the icon file, one is 64x64, and the other is 16x16, sounds like you're missing the 16x16 one.

I have created a test icon with a range of sizes and color depths, which will help identify the requirements. You could use to test the issue, as different sized icons can clearly be identified. For example 16x6 will show green and 32x32 will be mauve. This way you can prove what sizes are required.

Personally I use 16 and 32 sized frames in my icons, normally at 256 and 32bit color depths.

Yup - i was missing the 16x16x - (actually it was created as default my VS) - so I had to Right click the icon in the layout window and go to "Current Icon Image Types".

Thankssql
