Creating Icon resource using image

This is probably a well covered topic, but searched & couldn't find my exact answers...

I've tried to create a resource in VS 2005 by going add>Resource>Icon>Import and selected an image file (bmp)... The file gets loaded successfully under Resource Files but not as .ico but .bmp... Can i use LoadImage to load this bmp as an icon? If so (my attempt below...)

Code:

---

wcx.hIcon = (HICON)LoadImage(0,"logo.bmp",IMAGE_ICON,0,0,LR_SHARED);

---

How do specify the image...?

You could try converting the Bitmap to an Icon, I am sure there are freeware thrid party tools for this job.
