How to show an ErrorProvider error icon next to a GroupBox header? – Photoshop

    You can use SetIconAlignment and SetIconPadding to set the location of the error icon. For example:

    errorProvider1.SetError(groupBox1, "Error!");
errorProvider1.SetIconAlignment(groupBox1, ErrorIconAlignment.TopLeft);
errorProvider1.SetIconPadding(groupBox1, -24);

    You need to shift the text a bit to right, by preppending some space, to have more room for the icon.

    Following should help you.

    errorProvider1.SetIconAlignment(groupBox1, ErrorIconAlignment.TopLeft);
errorProvider1.SetIconPadding(groupBox1, -5);
errorProvider1.SetError(groupBox1,"error");

    As explained in your previous question regarding TabControl, you would need to provide sufficient space in your GroupBox Text for showing the icon
