Change notifyicon without external files

[Barkruk]

I am using vb.net for the firts time. It is nice notifyicon is a standard now, but how can i change the icons of this notifyicon without calling external .ico files?

Before I was used to use vb6 and there i could use the standard picturebox images, but vb.net won't accept this anymore

I already searched msdn and google, but i cannot find any usefull aswer

let me explain my question a little bit; i made a program that checks my mail every x minutes and show me in my systemtray how much emails exists in my inbox. almost the notifyicon have to be my icon with the zero :P, but sometimes i seemed to be important and got an email, so the notifyicon have to change in the icon with a one. In vb6 I have made icons with 1 till 9 and a > (more) and putted them all to pictureboxes. Worked fine, but .net don't want them.

Have you looked into this constructor for icon - Public Sub New(Type, String). I'm so new to vb.net I don't quite understand it, but it seems to be the only icon constructor that doesn't use a file.

I found the solution in one of the samples:
