VS2010 Add-in use own icon for custom add-in

I've programmed an add-in for VS2010, one of the code-lines from this add-in is:

Command command = commands.AddNamedCommand2(
_addInInstance, "MyAddIn", "MyAddIn", 
"bladiebla", true, 59, ref contextGUIDS, 
(int)vsCommandStatus.vsCommandStatusSupported
 + (int)vsCommandStatus.vsCommandStatusEnabled, 
(int)vsCommandStyle.vsCommandStylePictAndText, 
vsCommandControlType.vsCommandControlTypeButton);

The number 59 is the code of the icon to use. Somehow when you use the number 59, a smiley appears as icon. Some testing did show that 47 shows an eraser, and 58 shows a x2-sign.

One question is where those icons come from? Another question is how to add my own icon. I tried:

var bitmap = new Bitmap(@"c:\myicon.ico");

and replace the number 59 with the bitmap object (this should be possible because the parameter for that function requests an object. But this did not work.
