[RESOLVED] Why are my Form1 icons not showing ?
Hi,
What am I doing wrong now ? Or have I just forgotten something?
I'm sure I used to just select an icon for my Form1 by adding one to the Form1 Properties. (where it says Icon)
Then when I found the .exe file in the directory it had the icon displayed, and likewise on the desktop shortcut, now I just get the same, rather bland icon of what seems to be a representation of maybe a laptop screen for everything.
I've tried putting it in resources but that's not helping. I'm using exactly the same icons in this Windows 10 machine as I used in the Windows 7 one, but the difference is that they worked in the Win.7 one. I'm using the same VS2013 on both machines.
I've tried clicking the shortcut and selecting 'Properties' and then 'Change Icon', I thought that clicking 'Select Icon' would give me the option to select the application's icon but the only one on offer is the one that already displayed.
Poppa.

To set icon for exe, I add icon to resources, then > Project Properties > Application(tab) > Icon

Try reloading the folder holding the .exe it might be displaying a cached icon/thumbnail if so this would fix it.

Form icons and the exe icon are set separately so they do not have to be the same. If you want them to be the same then you have to set them in the form and in the Project Properties as the same icon. (Per Edgemeal.)
