    Favicon belong to the header tag like these.

    <head>

         <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />

         <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=Edge" />

         <title>Mileage Stats | Know where your gas takes you</title>

         <link href="@Url.Content("~/Content/static.css")" rel="stylesheet" />

         <link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/x-icon" href="@Url.Content("~/favicon.ico")" />

         <link rel="icon" type="image/ico" href="@Url.Content("~/favicon.ico")" />

         <meta name="application-name" content="Mileage Stats" />

         <meta name="msapplication-tooltip" content="Mileage Stats Reference Implementation" />

         <meta name="msapplication-window" content="width=1100;height=800" />

    If you just need favicon not pinsite just add following code will work within the head tag..

    You can also specify the favicon to use by following existing webpage syntax:

    <LINK rel="shortcut icon" type=image/x-icon href="http://host/favicon.ico"> 
    <LINK rel=icon type=image/ico href="./favicon.ico">

    still not getting looks like when I try to use Type =image/ico its not displaing intellisense option like Type="image/ico" inside <link rel=icon/>

    I am still trying to get my favicon in my app but don't understand what's the problem , where do you recommend to put my .ico image under what folder or project ?????

     My application won't load if I try to include ico image in .html page , Do I have to include under header tag of Default.aspx page or someother page??

    using IE 8 can't have access to other browsers right now due to security restrictions.

     having difficulty in downloading my content ..........

    Run the web under iis mode or try these links.

    <link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/x-icon" href="http://www.veryicon.com/icon/ico/Food%20%26%20Drinks/HandBrake%201/HandBrake.ico" />

    <link rel="icon" type="image/ico" href="http://www.veryicon.com/icon/ico/Food%20%26%20Drinks/HandBrake%201/HandBrake.ico" />
