Wrong Application Icon Task Switch

[Guest]

I have a C# application with one and only one icon in the project. The icon
is linked as the application icon in Project Properties and is also linked
with each windows form.

The icon is displayed properly on the desktop, in the task bar, and on the
form itself. However, when you task switch (Alt+Tab) the icon is replaced
with a generic icon. Why? How do I get the proper icon to show on the task
switch dialog?

I have done a simple C# 2003 windows form application with just one form and
I have set an icon to the form with 16x16, 16 colors, 32x32, 16 colors and
48x48, 256 colors and it shows that icon in the Alt+Tab dialog. The project
icon is other (the default) and it has no influence (only in the Windows
Explorer when showing the exe file).

Can you try with that simple app and then move forward to a multi-window
app, etc?
