I'm in the process of creating a non-visual component. The component works 
well and can be selected in the component palette, dropped on a form and 
handled with the object inspector. But it has a default icon. Searching 
google, I've found I have to add and attrinute to specify the icon. So I 
added just above my component class the line:
   [ToolboxBitmap(typeof(MyClass), "My16colorsBitmap.bmp")]
I also added the bmp file to the assembly project.
Rebuilding the assembly gave no error but still default icon displayed.
What could be the problem ?
