Visual Studio 2005 Icons
Just found out that there are a nice selection of animations and graphics to be found in the Visual Studio 2005 folder. If you installed to the default directory you'll find these icons here.
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\VS2005ImageLibrary
It includes some animated gifs that would be useful for searching and file copies. To display these just use a picture control on a form, the picture control handles the animation and transparency.
So there something else that's quite good to know, the picture box displays animated gifs with full support for transparent backgrounds... interesting.
