How to Add Tile Icon in Windows 8 app development?

I started learning Windows 8 app development (I'm a beginner) and I'm making an app where I want to add its tile icon. When I press the window key, then our program exe icon shows as default, but I want to add my own icon. How do I do this?

How do I add an image in this sample code?

You can replace the default tile image with your own logo image with the path in the package .appxmanifest

You can get the guidelines over here http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/hh465437.aspx

Hope it will solve your problem
