How does a programmer add icon to resources?

 

Help needed, I tried to use the .ico format file with the #resource but it is not recognized. However .bmp is very much used with #resource. Question is:

how do I use Resources to append the icon file (or better still use .bmp to create an icon) so that when the program is distributed or moved to a different computer there will be no need to transfer the icon file?

Use #property icon instead for that
 
Okay, I'll do that, thank you.
