How to assign Application Icon that will display in Task bar?

Question

I am working on a Wpf desktop application, whenever i run my application it shows me a window and associated tab in the task bar(Normal windows feature). My problem is that the tab is using window's icon for unknown file-type, I tried with Icon property of Window, Icon gets assigned but still problem is when I run application, task bar Tab initially displays window's icon for unknown file-type and when window-load completes it changes to the Icon assigned. I want Icon there from beginning. Any help?

Edit:

I tried with .csproj --> Properties --> Application Tab --> Icon and set it to a .ico file. It works but I need to run my application by .exe file. It doesn't work in development environment(while running through visual studio). I need to set Start-Project option then. Is there any other way to solve this problem?

Answer 1

Check the properties of your main Window project.. You should be able to set an icon there.

Update: Is it such a problem that your icon does not show in debug mode? As long as it works when you deliver the program to your customer, its all alright, not?

On a side note: You could check some things though. Perhaps your icon is not included in your project, or it isnt copied when building to your Debug folder?
