Visual Studio Intellisense Icons available for download?

Question

Hi I was wondering if the icons used in Visual Studio 2010/2012's Intellisense menu, to distinguish between Methods and Fields etc, were available for download somewhere?

They would be useful as placeholders for my current application I am developing.

Answer 1

Visual Studio 2012 (and later)

For VS 2012 and later, you can download the icons from Microsoft's Visual Studio Image Library.

Visual Studio 2010 (and earlier)

According to their docs, earlier versions were bundled with Visual Studio, so you can be find them locally if you have VS installed:

Visual Studio 2005

...\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\VS2005ImageLibrary\VS2005ImageLibrary.zip

Visual Studio 2008

...\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\VS2008ImageLibrary\1033\VS2008ImageLibrary.zip

Visual Studio 2010

...\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\VS2010ImageLibrary\1033\VS2010ImageLibrary.zip

Answer 2

The images are publicly available in the Visual Studio 2008 SDK under the following path:

VisualStudioIntegration\Common\Source\CSharp\LanguageService\Resources\completionset.bmp

I do not know what license the images are distributed under, as I have only used them as part of extensions for Visual Studio itself.

Edit: The images were distributed with the SDKs for Visual Studio 2005 and 2008, but are no longer included in the SDKs for Visual Studio 2010 or 2012.

Answer 3

Avalon Edit is open source and there may be images from that you can use:

The images are the property of Microsoft and as such should not be used, I'm sure a quick google will point you in the direction of suitable images for use.
