I was able to swap Icons, both using the Resources example and this
approach:
string str1 = @"C:\Data\My Stuff\Images\Cars\untitled.bmp";
string str2 = @"C:\Data\My Stuff\Documents\ebay.txt";
bool flip;
void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) {
if (flip)
notifyIcon1.Icon =
System.Drawing.Icon.ExtractAssociatedIcon(str1);
else
notifyIcon1.Icon =
System.Drawing.Icon.ExtractAssociatedIcon(str2);
flip = !flip;
}
Of course you could just load up the icon using the constructor, but I
didn't have any icon files available. The important part is that I'm
doing it when you click the button, and I'm setting the Icon property
of the NotifiyIcon object.
