IconSource pointing to C://

[mcash95]

Working with TaskBarIcon in .net Maui. The component works just fine when i define the full path of the .ico file, but not when defining the relative path.

the location of the file in the project ^

<tb:TaskbarIcon 
    x:Key="TrayIcon"
    IconSource="\Resources\AppIcon\dotnet_bot.ico"
    ToolTipText="THSApp">
</tb:TaskbarIcon>

things ive tried:

Absolute path: C://{full path here}/Resources/AppIcon/dotnet_bot.ico <--- works
Relative path: {shown above} <---does not work
Pack uri: pack://application:,,,/Resources/AppIcon/dotnet_bot.ico <-- does not work

Any thoughts would be appreciated! Thank you!
