text: How to embed a existing cursor file into the application?
  I was using Visual C# 2005 to build a GUI application. I needed to add existing cursor file into the project.
  The procedure i followed was:
  1) I added a existing cursor file into project.
  2) Selected cursor file in the Solution Explorer > Chose View->Properties > Change the “Build Action” to “Embedded Resources”.
  3) Code
  Cursor newCur = new Cursor(“xyz.cur”);
  this.Cursor = newCur;
  But application was throwing exception “Could not find file C:\App\Debug\rotate.cur” even though i have added it in application.
  After googling i found the solution at
  Here it goes:
  1) Follow procedure 1 and 2 as done by me and Add
  using System.Reflection;
  using System.Resources;
  using System.IO;
  2) Actual code for getting resource (cursor)
  Assembly asm = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly();
  using( Stream resStream = asm.GetManifestResourceStream( “MyNameSpace.xyz.cur” ) )
  {
  Cursor cursor = new Cursor( resStream );
  }
  where MyNamespace is name of our namespace.
  3) Use
  Form.Cursor = cursor;
  The link also give the detailss of how to print all our resource names to the console (for example to lookup if the resource exists):
  Assembly asm = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly();
  Console.WriteLine( “Manifest resources for {0}”, asm.FullName );
  foreach( String resourceName in asm.GetManifestResourceNames() )
  {
  Console.WriteLine( “\t{0}”, resourceName );
  }
  uhm… what do you mean in PROJECT??? where can i find that PROJECT??? please help me…. thanks!!
  Your Project in Solution Explorer.
  Right click on your Project and click “Add New Item”.
  Add the cursor file.
