title: Setting Icon for wpf application (VS 08)
body: <p>Before going much further i'll mention I have tried solutions in following:</p>

  <p>I am trying to set an icon for my application.</p>
  
  <p>AFAIK, I need potentially 3 images?</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>1 image is the actual image in explorer when clicking on the .exe (thumbnail for the exe)</li>
  <li>1 image (tiny) in the top left corner (16 x 16? Not entirely sure)</li>
  <li>1 image in the start menu dock, to the left of the app (maybe 32x32? again not sure)</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>So thats fine.</p>
  
  <p>Now I have selected an Icon. How do I use it in one of above situations?</p>
  
  <p>I have tried adding it in resources, nothing seems to happen. Following that first SO solution, </p>
  
  <p><i>"First go to Resource View (from menu: View --> Other Window --> Resource View). Then in Resource View navigate through resources, if any. If there is already a resource of Icon type, added by Visual Studio, then open and edit it. Otherwise right-click and select Add Resource, and then add a new icon."</i></p>
  
  <p>The resource view is empty, and I cannot right click in this view.</p>
  
  <p>If I right click on the solution > properties > resources > I can add the icon image, but it doesn't show in either of the locations listed above. (or anywhere that I can see)</p>
