Changing cursor to custom cursor image as a resource

I've been trying to get my cursor to be a custom cursor from a .cur file located in a folder in my project as a Resource. Here's my solution layout:

test_cur.cur's build action is set to Resource. In my class library is a UserControl at the top level which is what I want to change the cursor for. Here's the relative code:

public partial class SampleControl: UserControl
{
    InitializeComponent();
    StreamResourceInfo streamResource = Application.GetResourceStream(new Uri("test_cursor.cur", UriKind.Relative));
    Cursor = new Cursor(streamResource.Stream);
}

I've tried a few different variations of the Uri but I always get an error Cannot locate resource 'test_cursor.cur'.

I got it working doing the following:

Uri uri = new Uri("pack://application:,,,/SampleClassLibrary;Component/Images/test_cursor.cur");
StreamResourceInfo streamResource = Application.GetResourceStream(uri);

SampleClassLibrary is the name of the class library project under the solution.

I had to make the Uri the way it was because the .cur file is a Resource under a class library and is being hosted in a different project under the same solution

The file path is wrong.

 StreamResourceInfo streamResource = Application.GetResourceStream(new Uri("Images\\test_cursor.cur", UriKind.Relative));
Cursor = new Cursor(streamResource.Stream);
