Icons

Question

How do you change/add an icon image, I am using microsoft visual c# 2008 express edition and I went to the Form properties in the properties window and have added an .ico image for the icon option. this works fine and when the program runs there is my icon image for the program in the taskbar but there is still a default icon when there is a shortcut for the desktop or when the program is in the start menu. How do i change this?

Thank you

Answer 1

You have to set the icon for your project :
- open the project properties via the context menu
- in the application tab you can select your icon

Answer 2

hi,

you have to make a right click on your project and click on property. You can find property for icon application.

Hope this helps,

Mathieu

Right-click on your project and make sure "Application" tab is selected. Look for "Default icon" and there you can assign the icon.

Thanks

Sorry i think i am still having trouble. I go to my properties window with for the form and then under my (ApplicationSettings) i see (PropertyBinding), Location, and Text options. If i click on my propertybinding a application settings for my form window pops up allowing me to bind properties to application settings. in this all i see about the icon is the "showicon" option. Is this what everyone is talking about???
