Have C# method call every second, which updates notifyicon icon.
And memory consumption grows every update.
My code:
private void UpdateTrayIcon()
{
var info = GetRecycleBinInfo();
try
{
notifyIcon.Icon = info.ItemCount == 0 ? Properties.Resources.tray_empty : Properties.Resources.tray_full;
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
MessageBox.Show("Error setting icon!");
}
}
When notifyIcon.Icon line is commented out - no memory usage growth.
Any suggestions? What am I doing wrong?
Previously it was updated by new System.Drawing.Icon(iconpath) and it was same.

Found answer:
First initialize them on form load, or creation, or whatever:
iconFull = (Icon)Properties.Resources.tray_full.Clone();
iconEmpty = (Icon)Properties.Resources.tray_empty.Clone();
And then
notifyIcon.Icon = info.ItemCount == 0 ? iconEmpty : iconFull;
