How to set icon for context menu in c#?

I am trying to set icons for context menu (one which appears when right click is pressed). I'm doing this in a Visual Studio Extensibility project. I used the below code:

MenuItem disConMenuItem = new MenuItem() 
{ Header = "Disconnect", CommandParameter = ClickedTreeViewItem.Header.ToString(), IsEnabled = false, Icon = new System.Windows.Controls.Image 
{ Source = new BitmapImage(new Uri(@".\Icons\disconnect.png", UriKind.Relative)) } };

However the icons appeared while debugging, but not when I install the VSIX. I've also set "Include in VSIX" property of the icon files as 'true'.

You want your images to be inside resources, not referenced externally. You could, for example, add a new resource file by r-clicking project and clicking Add -> Add New Item and selecting Resource File and call it myRes. In there you want to add a new image, which you can reference by simply going: myRes.myImage.
