Have an application that I am trying to add custom icon to display in browser tab. Have the basic MVC ASP.NET template set up. Where do I set my custom ICON???? I have added it to favicon.ico in the root of directory and also added it in the properties of
the solution. When I run the app I continue to see just the default square box. What am I missing?
Please confirm you have put the picture in Images folder under root of directory . In addition , what is your browser for testing ? It won't work on localhost it using Edge :
