How to set custom icon for dll file?

I have tried: Project Properties > Application > Icon and Manifest and browsing to my .ico file. The icon appears on the right of the box once its loaded but when I build my library the icon is still just the default one.

So is it possible to embed an icon in my library and use it for the dll file itself?

Thanks

You can't, as windows doesn't look for icons in dlls. That's just done for exes.
