Hi,

You can create icons with special software or online, or in Visual Studio (Add -> New item... -> Icon file).

To assign it to an application, open up the properties page of your project, go to the application tab and set the icon in the 'Icon' field under 'resources - Icon and manifest'.

Hope this helps

To assign an icon to your exe, use the Application tab in the Properties of the project (see attached image).

To create the icon, just copy any .ico file from your hard disk and open it with Visual Studio. Visual Studio contains a rudimentary graphics editor that will let you modify the content of the .ico. You can then assign it to the .exe as shown above, and also to the Icon property of the forms in your project so that the forms will show that icon in their top left corner and in the taskbar.

Try it here. You can create your own ico files in Visual Studio or on photo editors that supports ico files.
