Icon for the .exe of a form

Hi,

I have a C# application which has 3 forms. I want to set the icon for the
..exe to a custom made icon. How do I do this? I tried setting the Icon of
the main form. But that didn't work. It only shows that icon in the titlebar
of that form.

Can someone out there help me out this? Thanks.

Check in the Project Options. There is a spot in there to change the exe
icon.

1) Assuming that you wizard-ed a Windows Application C# project you should have an "app.ico" resource visible from solution explorer - that is the desktop visible icon.

2) Also I had troubles one time because I defined a 32x32 icon but the desktop wanted 16x16 or something like that; be certain that you define all needed resolutions and color depths...

I am trying to change an icon associated with my application's main form and the application itself. 1. I selected my main form in IDE "Solution" tab and went to "Properties" window. 2. I found "Icon" property, browsed for and selected a new icon. 3. I noticed the icon changed on my form 4. Ran my application and sure thing, the new icon replaced the default .NET icon.

Hi, I have a form with a tray icon. However, when I minimize the form, it stays visible - not in the task bar (I have showintaskbar property set to false), but in a form of a rectangle sitting above the task bar. Can't figure out why that happens - it looks very ugly... Any ideas ? Zeljko

Hi there, I assigned icon for a window's form using form's Icon property at design time. Now I want to change the icon. I tried to replace the old icon with the new icon using form's Icon property. Somehow in the form's property window's Icon property has changed to new icon, but on the form it still uses the old icon. Then I tried to set Icon property to None, and it doesn't allow me to do it. I don't know why and how can I fix...
