So I can already export a visual studio c# program to a single file exe. What I was curious about is if anyone knows of the console tag for adding a image to the exe or if I would have to do that in the properties beforehand. I tried in properties and it didn't work but any opinions would be great thanks.

XAML

<Window x:Class="WindowSample.MainWindow"  
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"  
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"  
    Title="WPF Window Sample" Height="350" Width="525"  
 Name="FirstWindow" Icon="Icon1.ico" >  

I believe all you have to do is add Icon="" to your <Window>

In this example the custom icon file is in the project folder, and its named "Icon1.ico".

• Note that the icon image file has to be a .ico file.
• Also note that the Icon file location can be changed to your preferences.

In addition if you would create a setup project and add shortcut to the desktop then you have to separately select an icon for the shortcut.
