  • Right-click your project, Add, Existing item.
  • Navigate to your .ico and select it.
  • Select the main window of your project.
  • Under properties (of the window) find icon and expand the ellipsis.
  • Click the icon you added to your project.

If they are already added to project properties, you can access them using the code.

Properties.Resources.<name of icon resource>

I hope this is accurate, as I'm writing this on my phone :)

You need add the file as part of the solution either as content or embedded resource within the properties of the .ico file in your project solution.
