Default Icon Missing in VS2022, showing in VS2019


After upgrading the code from .NET core3.1 to .NET6, and after starting using the VS2022 from VS2019, I am not able to see the default WinForms icon for my windows application.

Does anyone know how to solve this?

I tried looking for the icon properties for the project but could not find the default icon option in VS2022, which I can see in VS2019.


Solution

  • First you can search for properties:

    Select the icon in the categorized:

    The second method: project->properties->Applications->win32 resources

    Update:

    You could use this to get it.

    using System;
    using System.Drawing;
    using System.IO;
    using System.Windows.Forms;
    
    namespace WindowsFormsApp1
    {
        public partial class Form1 : Form
        {
            public Form1()
            {
                InitializeComponent();
            }
    
            private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
            {
                Icon icon = this.Icon;
                Stream output = new FileStream("saved_icon.ico", FileMode.Create);
                icon.Save(output);
                output.Close();
            }
        }
    }
