I'm generating an executable file with VB 2008 using codeDom Compiler
is there a way to change the icon before the compiler creates the exe file ?
thanks
A:
Go into the project properties and select the icon from there. Simple as that.

A:
You can set the icon of the generated exe by specifying it in the CompilerParameters that you pass to the code provider, using the CompilerOptions property.
Dim parameters As New CompilerParameters()
parameters.CompilerOptions = "/win32icon:C:\full\path\to\icon.ico"
You then pass these parameters to the CompileAssemblyFromSource method. The generated exe will then use the specified icon as its application icon.
