I am new to Visual Studio and I would like to know how to modify the icon on the project node in a csproj.
I would like to create a c# project but would like to modify the default c# icon it shows.
Appreciate the help
Are you referring to the icon in solution explorer? That is not something that can be set, as it is just meant to show the type of 'file' that the particular node represents.
If you're referring to a windows form application, there is a property under the window designer that will allow you to set that.

Hi, @golf89
Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!
If you are referring to the icon of the Solution Explorer, I am afraid that Visual Studio does not provide the option to modify it. I did not find the relevant instructions in the official documentation of Visual Stdio.
I did not find any documents or settings for modifying this icon. If you need this feature, you can click the button in the upper right corner of the Visual Studio interface to suggest this feature.
Sincerely,
Peng

I am afraid there is no such option.
