.NET Windows Forms in a Nutshell

Name

SystemIcons

Synopsis

This class provides you with properties to retrieve those handy system icons, such as the Error and Information symbols. As an added bonus, you’ve also got a Hand and the WinLogo.

While these icons implement IDisposable, don’t release the resources yourself or you will leave the disposed remains of an icon in the internal system icons table for the next poor client to use. Unfortunately, the implementation only tests for nullness before recreating the Icon rather than checking IsDisposed.
