Check out my solution at pinvoke.net (look for LoadCursor API). I'm also going to post an article on codeproject.com with a sample project. Look for “embed animated/color cursor as native win32 resource”.

This solution allows you to load real, alpha blend, color, animated, and hot spot enabled cursor file from embedded native Win32 resource in your assembly.

Better one below

// create any bitmap
Bitmap b = new Bitmap( 55, 25 );
Graphics g = Graphics.FromImage ( b );
// do whatever you wish
g.DrawString ( "myText", this.Font, Brushes.Blue, 0, 0 );
// this is the trick!
IntPtr ptr = b.GetHicon();
Cursor c = new Cursor( ptr );
// attach cursor to the form
this.Cursor = c;

Very good, brief and informative tutorial. I was trying to load a colored cursor into my .net application with no hope at all until I read your tutorial. Thanks a lot. but the question is why Microsoft didn't do a wrapper or a class for doing this in .net framework directly? What if a .net developer don't know or never use the Win32 APIs (like me)? Why they didn't think of that ??
