Hi,

I have a C# application which has 3 forms. I want to set the icon for the
..exe to a custom made icon. How do I do this? I tried setting the Icon of
the main form. But that didn't work. It only shows that icon in the titlebar
of that form.

Can someone out there help me out this? Thanks.
 
1) Assuming that you wizard-ed a Windows Application C# project you should have an "app.ico" resource visible from solution explorer - that is the desktop visible icon.

2) Also I had troubles one time because I defined a 32x32 icon but the desktop wanted 16x16 or something like that; be certain that you define all needed resolutions and color depths...

Check in the Project Options. There is a spot in there to change the exe
icon.
