在资源管理器中设置应用程序图标？

Question

I am trying to set a file icon for a program I am creating. I can get the icon to show on the taskBar when I am running the program. But I can't get it to show in a file explorer.

Here is an example screenshot from Explorer:

I have embedded the icon into the project, and set it as the windows icon using

Icon="Sample.ico"

Thanks

Answer 1

Have you selected the icon for your application? (project properties > tab application > symbol and manifest > symbol)

Answer 2

The following example shows how to set a window icon.

By using XAML,

<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>

By using c# code,

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

By using VB,

Dim iconUri As New Uri("pack://application:,,,/WPFIcon2.ico", UriKind.RelativeOrAbsolute)
Me.Icon = BitmapFrame.Create(iconUri)

Answer 3

Make sure your .ico file contains the right selection of sizes so that the appropriate one displays in explorer.

For Windows you'll want: 256 x 256 pixels, 48 x 48 pixels, 32 x 32 pixels and 16 x 16 pixels.

All 32bit (24bit colour, 8bit transparency).

Answer 4

Kindly use the .ico file don't use JPEG or any other formats

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

<Window
