Try this, e.g. in the form constructor:

public Form1()
{
    InitializeComponent();

    using (var stream = File.OpenRead("Test.ico"))
    {
        this.Icon = new Icon(stream);
    }
}

Hi, Rick

I need to show it in taskbar hover, For instance, a visual window will open when i hover the pinned application on my taskbar. on that the icon will be display at the left top corner.

I need not to show on the application when it is maximize. but when i minimize the form and hover on the pinned application. that time it would display at the left top corner.
