  • Application have it's icon which is shown in taskbar, in explorer etc. You can change that icon by selecting properties of your WPF project. Icon(s) put on windows are different icons. – Nino Feb 23 '17 at 13:08
  • I tried putting icon on project properties but it is always showing error that icon is too small and load failed. – Harsh Feb 23 '17 at 13:13

  • Where did you get the icon from? Did you look into its levels? Icons can have various sizes and display the one that most closely fits. It is easy to create one the looks entirely diiferent at different sizes. Greefish is a tool to look into it and edit it.. VS used to do it too, some time ago.. – TaW Feb 23 '17 at 14:47

If anyone would need it.

To get the icon the taskbar same as the one you set to the form. 1. Go to your project properties 2. Choose 'Application' 3. At Resources, choose 'Icon and manifest' 4. Set your chosen icon.
