I saw c# program's exe, often have an favicon.ico image bound together, which can be dragged to desktop.

Can dmd compile an icon image to an exe also?

you can, if i remember correctly

create a ``ressource.rc`` file

and paste:

```
IDI_ICON1 ICON DISCARDABLE "myicon.ico"
```

then put your ``mycon.ico`` file next to it

```
my_project\
    app.d
    ressource.rc
    myicon.ico
```

```
dmd app.d ressource.rc
```

it should create an .exe that has the icon
