Error to load icon for gh component in Visual Studio

[carmenrubio1]

Hi I am new in PlugIn development and i have done a simple component to extract TreePaths, intended for Rhino7 using .NET Framework. When i debug it it works fine, but when i tried to add an icon to the component it gives me this error:

Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State
Error (active) CS0029 Cannot implicitly convert type ‘byte[]’ to ‘System.Drawing.Bitmap’ MothGHPlugin C:\Users\carme\Documents\MothGrasshopperPlugIn\MothGHPlugin\TreePathsComponent.cs 76

Also I have noticed that when I upload an image as a resource i dont have the bitmap option as a type eventhough I have noticed some other tutorials and sample projects i have seen have the type bitmap on their images for icons.

I also have tried to use .ico, and bitmaps but it also gives me errors. I know that .NET saves images as bytes but not sure how to address this if my project target is .NET Framework. 4.8?

Thank you in advance!!

PS: please let me know if I need to include anything extra.
