C# Application icon changing docked icon

I have set the application icon under project properties Application tab, Resources, Icon and manifest to a custom icon. However it only changes the icon I see before I open the application. However when I open my application and look at the icon on my dock it is the same icon that I had when debugging with VS 2010.

Here is the image for the icon before I launch.

enter image description here

That is the icon that I want my docked icon to have also however it shows this one...

You have to set the icon for each form.

The shell display the icon of windows, not of executalbles, you need to select an icon for the window that is displayed.

In WPF the default icon for a window is the icon of the application, but it seem to only work in Release (See WPF Icon for all app windows ) without a debugger attached. You could still set the icon property of the window to what you want (Directly or from a resource, as you wish):

<Window
  xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
  Icon="SomeIcon.ico">
</Window>

In winforms the designer is the simpler way to do it as it wil automaticaly put it in a resource file or let you select from an existing resource. If you want to to it by hand see Form.Icon documentation.

You've probably only set the icon for the application, not the icon for your form. Each form can have its own icon.
