Programicaly creating a ShortCut

In my Windows Forms application I have created a self-exracting archive (Program Installer) for my main application. How would I go about creating shortcut icon that points to my applications executable file? I looked in the System::IO::File class but couldn't find anything and don't know where else I would have to look.

Check this thread if you use a setup program. Check this article if you want to do it yourself.

I am using VC# Express Studio so I don't believe it has the "Setup Project" in the Express SDK. And the second link you provided is broken.

Delete the %22 off the end of the URL. Crappy forum software...

Another quick question...

What is the C# equivelant of the C++ #include statement?

C# doesn't use header files. A rough equivalent is Add Reference in the Solution Explorer...

Thanks much! (I am making a transition from C++ to C#, so you will have to excuse my obliviousness to things like this.) :)
