Answer 3

<Window
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
x:Class="SDKSample.MainWindow"
Icon="WPFIcon1.ico">
</Window>

or in code

// Set an icon using code
Uri iconUri = new Uri("pack://application:,,,/WPFIcon2.ico", UriKind.RelativeOrAbsolute);
this.Icon = BitmapFrame.Create(iconUri);

Source: Window.Icon Property

Answer 4

This one worked for me (using Visual Studio 2017)

• Select menu Project/[yourprojectname] Properties
• Click Application tab (its the first one on top)
• Here you can browse for Icon, and it will be copied to your project

Answer 5

The Icon attribute of Window is used to set Icon of a window.

<Window x:Class="WindowSample.MainWindow"

xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"

xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"

Title="WPF Window Sample" Height="350" Width="525"

Name="FirstWindow" Icon="Icon1.ico" >

The Icon property of Window class represents a window's icon at run-time. This property takes an ImageSource variable.

The following code snippet uses BitmapFrame.Create method to create an ImageSource and sets the Icon property of a Window.

Uri iconUri = new Uri("pack://application:,,,/Icon1.ico", UriKind.RelativeOrAbsolute);

this.Icon = BitmapFrame.Create(iconUri);
