    <p>I have a WPF assembly in which I would like to embed five icons for different filetypes associated with my application. How can I embed these icons into my EXE?</p> <p>@smoore @Groky @ChrisF, thank you. Unfortunately, this is not what I asked. I see that my question was quite vague 0_­°. Let me rephrase the question:</p> <hr> <p>I have icons, say <code>Application.ico</code>, <code>Document.ico</code>, etc. as resources in my WPF projects. I access these icons in most cases with the following:</p> <pre><code>&lt;Image Source="/MyAssembly;component/Resources/Icons/Application.ico" /&gt; </code></pre> <p>That works every single time. I know that.</p> <hr> <p>What my question is about is how can I use the same icons from Windows Explorer for file associations in the registry. I want to be able to access the icons with a path like:</p> <pre><code>C:\Program Files\MyApp\MyApp.exe,1 </code></pre> <p>Like in how icons are associated with filetypes in <code>HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT</code>.</p> <p>AFAIK, I should use a resource file (<code>.rc</code>), compile and merge it with my EXE. Something along the lines of:</p> <pre><code>101 RT_ICON Application.ico 102 RT_ICON Document.ico // etc... </code></pre> <p>Is this the right way in WPF? Is there an alternative, especially since this method seems to lead to the erasure of the assembly version from my <code>AssemblyInfo.cs</code>. I am still prepared to have to write the versioning info in the resource instead of the assembly's info.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
