I have assigned an icon in the project properties, Application, Icon field.
When I build the project to the exe, the icon appears fine on the desktop.
However, after dragging the exe to the handheld, it has the default icon.

I have a sample app where the icon goes with the exe when dragged over. I
cannot spot any differences between my app and the sample that works with
regards to the icon.

Any ideas?
 
Please do check whether the icon is 16x16 and 8x8, if it is 32x32 it
will not display properly in Device but will be looking good in
desktop.
 
Try soft resetting your device and hopefully you will see the new icon.
This happens because icons are cached by win ce devices. You must be
copying the sample app for the first time, thats why you are able to
view its icon, but since you must have copied your exe earlier too on
the device and changed the icon only later its showing the default
icon.

Let me know if it doesn't work even after soft reset.

I thought of that... I used the exact same icon as the sample app which
displays properly. Still no luck.
 
Ha! You are absolutely right... warm booting the device brought the icon up
just fine!

Thanks for your help,
Dan
