Question

So I can see this icon on the wpf windows. but the icon of taskbar is default icon. How can I set it with application icon.

Application icon

Taskbar icon

Answer 1

My project is the packaged application of WPF app. In Images folder of Windows Application Packaging App, there are several default images.

I replaced them with my custom images.

So that I could resolve the task bar icon problem.

Answer 2

Setting the icon via XAML:

<Window
    ...
    Icon="nvicon.ico">
</Window>

Also be sure to build in release mode to double check your success, as there are some cases where a debug build does not apply icons (for reasons i do not know).
