ToolboxBitmapAttribute(Type, String)[^]
With this overload of the constructor, you will be able to specify the icon as an embedded resource in the assembly.

First, in the Solution Explorer, select the icon.ico file, and in the Properties window, set the build action for the icon to EmbeddedResource.

Then, declare the attribute this way:

VB

<System.Drawing.ToolboxBitmap(GetType(ControlIcon), "icon.ico")> _
Partial Public Class ControlIcon
Inherits Windows.Forms.TextBox
