Hi all,

Sorry for me poor english :-(

I'm creating a control derived from System.Windows.Forms.Control
I want my own bitmap to be displayed in the toolbox
I create a bitmap 16*16 called "Frame3D.BMP"
I create a resource file called "Frame3D.resources"
This resource file contains just one item : a System.Drawing.Bitmap
called Frame3D with my bitmap
I add the ressource file to my project
After compiling the resource file is included in the DLL.

The structure of the DLL is :
(-) Frame3D
        (-) frame3d.dll
                (-) Dependencies
                            mscorlib
                        (+) System.Windows.Froms
                        (+) System.Drawing
                        (+) System
                (-) Util.Winform.Ctrl
                        (+) Frame3D
        (-) Resources
                (-) Frame3D.resources
                        Frame3D : Bitmap

As regards source file, I wrote :
...
namespace Util.WinForm.Ctrl
{
...
    [ToolboxItem(true)]
    [ToolboxBitmap(typeof(Util.WinForm.Ctrl.Frame3D), "Frame3D")]
    public class Frame3D : System.Windows.Forms.Control
    {
    ...
    }
}

After compiling, I add the assembly (called Frame3D.dll) to the GAC
All works fine, the control works fine...

But when I add the control to the toolbox, I don't see my bitmap ? I
see something that looks like to a wheel ?
I use SharpDevelop 0.99b and tried with C#Builber Personal, but the
problem is the same...

A I mising something ?

Thanks
