Creating a buddy Icon Class

I am looking to make a buddy icon for an instant messanger program i am making. I was wondering if there was any way i could design it in the designer mode using form controls from the toolbox and then turn it into a class so i could create more of them. Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated.

Icon creation is elementary albeit tedious.

Your project must be open. Click on Project name, left click, Add==>New Item==>Icon file==> you will get a workbench. Figure out how it works. Don't forget to save it as a file. Connect it to your project as a resource, give it an object name, put it in a class, multiply the class as many times as you want.
