What you have to do is go to the resource editor. First make sure that the resource editor is loaded by going to the Add-in manager. Once you know that it is loaded, you can proceed to open it via the tools menu. At the top of the resource editor you will see various icons. Click the one who's tool-tip reads "Add Icon". Then simply locate the icon you wish to use. If you wish for the Main form to show it, then put this code upon loading the form...

Form1.icon = "c:\Path to Icon"

Or
you can simply change this within the properties of the form...

Hope this helps...

Pick a form in the project usually Help/About and set the forms icon property to the desired icon.

From IDE menu select menu item - Project - projectname properties, goto the make tab then in the application frame select that form for application icon source.

Hope this helps
