    <p>Can I affect the process?<br> I have an application built in .NET 3.5 / VS2008. I have embedded multiple icons into the app with a win32 .res file. This is done in the Properties box for the Project in VS2008 - instead of specifying an .ico file, tick the box to specify a .res file. In the .res file you can have multiple icons. See <a href="http://www.codeproject.com/KB/dotnet/embedmultipleiconsdotnet.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here</a> for what I mean. </p> <p>Each icon includes a 256x256xRGB (PNG Cmopressed) "Vista grade" image, a 256x256x32bit image, and the usual cascade of 48x48, 32x32, and 16x16 images in various color combos. If I view the resulting exe in Explorer, I see the big beautiful 256x256 Vista images. </p> <p>I can then associate a file extension to my app, using the right click > "Open With..." > Set Default Program clickstream in Vista's Explorer. But the icon displayed next to the document is then a small version of the app icon, overlayed on top of what looks like a white sheet of paper with a folded corner. </p> <p>The result is that the original image is waaaay to small to be visible, when it is shown in "small icon" version. It looks terrible.</p> <p>I know it is possible to completely omit the folded piece of paper, or at least to get a much larger image overlayed on it. The icon for a C# file, for example, has a folded sheet of paper, but the C# emblem is large and visible. How can I get this? The icon for .zip files when WinZip 12 is installed, is large and visible, and has no folded sheet of paper.</p> <p>Is the icon-for-documents different than the icon-for-the-application? Is there something in my app that I have to do in order to register an Icon that Vista will use for documents associated to my app? </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.
