Issue with NotifyIcon not disappearing on Winforms App

Question

I\'ve got a .Net 3.5 C# Winforms app. It\'s got no GUI as such, just a NotifyIcon with a ContextMenu.

I\'ve tried to set the NotifyIcon to visible=false and dispose

Answer 1

This is what I'm doing in WPF.

I am using this in conjunction to David Anson's Minimize to tray sample app, which lets you hook up a tray icon to a window (you may have multiple windows open).

Just added this code to the constructor for MinimizeToTrayInstance.

_window.Closed += (s, e) => 
{
        if (_notifyIcon != null)
        {
            _notifyIcon.Visible = false;
            _notifyIcon.Dispose();
            _notifyIcon = null;
        }
};
