Windows Forms Application Icon
I've been developing a windows forms application for a while now and today I decided to add an icon to it. I went to the Application tab of the project's properties window and set the icon. I could see the new icon for the .exe file but when I started the application the icon on the task bar was the standard icon. After googling around for a bit I found out that I had to set the icon for all the forms in the project. I added a resource for the icon file on the resources tab of the properties window and then used the following code in the Form_Load funtion to set the icon: System.Drawing.Icon ico = Properties.Resources.icon; this.Icon = ico; You'll have to change the "icon" to the name of the resource you've added.
