Finally figured it out.
For all those who are interested, the icon file MUST have a filename with a
prefix of the Namespace where the class is located at.
For example, the full path to my class is
"OS.WinForms.Controls.ProgressBar", so the filename of the Icon had to be
"OS.WinForms.Controls.ProgressBar.ico"
Once I renamed the file, I could reference the icon correctly using:
Namespace OS.WinForms.Controls
<ToolboxBitmap(GetType(ProgressBar), "ProgressBar")> _
Public Class ProgressBar
Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Control
.........
End Class
End Namespace
Basically, the icon file has to have a filename of the full path of the
class + ".ico"

Maybe because it's an icon. Try a bitmap.

Removing the .ico from the name doesn't work. I've also tried adding it
directly as a resource in the project properties pages, which doesn't
work
either. Perhaps there's an issue with the icon itself?

Try removing the .ico from the icon name.

I have a control I built, for which I would like to add a tool bar
icon,
but
for some reason, it's not working correctly.
There is no default namespace (I removed it from the properies page of
the
project), and the icon file has been included in the project and it's
build
option is set to "Embedded Resource."
The only thing I can think of that could be messing it up (but I'm not
sure)
is that the class file and the icon file are in subfolders in the
project
itself. Other than that, when I compile, and add the DLL to the
Toolbox,
it
comes up with the standard gear control icon instead of the icon I
chose.
Any ideas?
Code is this:
Namespace OS.WinForms.Controls
<ToolboxBitmap(GetType(OS.WinForms.Controls.ProgressBar),
"ProgressBar.ico")> _
Public Class ProgressBar
Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Control
...yadda yadda yadda...
End Class
End Namespace
Thanks for any help.
