    You could try adding the icon as favicon.ico in the root of your hosting website.

    That might possibly work now, but I should mention it didn't use to.

    The alternative workround people used to use involved an iframe:

    <html>
    <header>
        <link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico"/>
    </header>
    <body>
      <iframe src="xbap application uri"/>
    </body>
</html>

    As described here:

    Hope that helps.

    You cannot change the hosting web browser's icon from within the XBAP application itself. Trying to set the Icon property of a Page will result in an InvalidOperationException being thrown since setting this property is not allowed nor possible when the application is hosted in a browser due to secuity/permission reasons.

    You could set the icon on the HTML page that hosts your XBAP but how to do this is an ASP.NET topic: http://forums.asp.net
