Free Icons For Your Application Within Visual Studio

If like me you’re always on the lookout for neat little icons and images to add to your shiny .Net applications then you might like to know that Visual Studio includes an image library for you to use. The library is located on your hard drive within the Visual Studio installation at:

For Visual Studio 2010: 
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\VS2010ImageLibrary\1033\VS2010ImageLibrary.zip

For Visual Studio 2008:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\VS2008ImageLibrary\1033\VS2008ImageLibrary.zip

For more information check out Weston Hutchins’ blog post on the Visual Studio Blog.

    Hi, i read your blog occasionally and i own a similar one and i was
    just wondering if you get a lot of spam responses? If so how do you reduce it,
    any plugin or anything you can suggest? I
    get so much lately it’s driving me mad so any assistance is very much appreciated.

      Hi. I’ve not checked VS2012 or VS2013 to see if the images and icons are still included. Maybe they’ve stopped including them.
