WPF NotifyIcon ContextMenu with hardcode taskbar

Question

I try to implement this solution for my NotifyIcon. I did it by this way.

    private void InitNotifyIcon()
    {
        tbi = new TaskbarIcon();
        tbi.Icon = Properties.Resource.favIcon;
        tbi.DoubleClickCommand = new NotifyIconCommand(this);
        tbi.ToolTipText = "Double click - open window";
        this.WindowState = WindowState.Minimized;
    }

In my XAML file I didn't write anything. And it is work good. I see my notifyicon near the windows clock. But now I need to realise with right click context menu. And I have a problem. ContextMenu is not a part of TaskbarIcon screenshot of the mistake in Xaml But if you will open link of this exemple you will see that ContextMenu must be include to TaskbarIcon

Any ideas?

ContextMenuStrip replaces ContextMenu and adds functionality.

Example use:

    private readonly NotifyIcon notifyIcon;
    ...
    notifyIcon = new NotifyIcon
    {
        // Icon is in Project folder with a Build Action of 'Resource'
        Icon = new Icon(Application.GetResourceStream(new Uri(@"pack://application:,,,/MyIcon.ico")).Stream),
        Visible = true,
        ContextMenuStrip = new ContextMenuStrip()
    };
    notifyIcon.ContextMenuStrip = new ContextMenuStrip();
    notifyIcon.ContextMenuStrip.Items.Add("Exit");
    notifyIcon.ContextMenuStrip.Items[0].Click += (o, e) => Close();

Don't forget to Dispose() of the NotifyIcon appropriately eg. in the Closed event handler of the Window.
