Icon

Can anyone tell me what is wrong with this code ?

m_notifyicon.Icon = new Icon(this.GetType() ,"Icon1.ico");

I have this error' Icon1.ico not found in class "Win..."

Resource

Thanks

Did you set the icons property to Embedded resource instead of Content?

Yes, I did . But If I change the code to this

Code:

---

m_notifyicon.Icon = new System.Drawing.Icon(@"C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\Visual Studio 2005\Projects\WindowsApplication6\WindowsApplication6\Icon1.ico");

It work. But I would like to understand why?


Thanks:confused:

You didn't import the correct classes.

At the top of the class file you should have added

vb Code:

using System.Drawing;

If you pass this.GetType() as the first parameter you're specifying that the icon is an embedded resource belonging to the current class. In your second sample you're not doing that.
