  • First, always show code instead of images. Second, it should work just fine as long as you added the icon trough the resource interface. – Jim Oct 29 '16 at 18:25

You can use Stream 

Stream iconStream = Application.GetResourceStream( 
            new Uri( "pack://application:,,,/YourReferencedAssembly;component/YourPossibleSubFolder/YourResourceFile.ico" )).Stream;
            notifyIcon.Icon = new System.Drawing.Icon(iconStream);

If you want to use it that way - don't add the image to the .resx file. Right click on the project -> Properties -> Resources -> Add Resource -> Add existing file... Add the image there. If you do this you should be able to get it in the code through Properties.Resources.MyIcon

    *(You can just drag and drop the icon or image file in the resource window) will work just fine* – Jim Oct 29 '16 at 18:30

You just need to have an existing file, open the context menu on your folder , and then choose Add => Existing item...like this,name the folder Images

You need to change your image's property "Build Action" to Content and change the Copy to "If Newer" or "Always"

It will create a folder in bin\debug every time you build your application.

Then give your path like this @"Images\"
