How to Add context menu strip in notify icon of c# console application

[AhmedMasum]

I have written the following code. It displays the notify icon in the system tray. But when I right click on the icon in the system it's not showing any menu there. I can't understand why this is not showing the menu. Can someone help me to show this?

ContextMenuStrip cms = new ContextMenuStrip();

        ToolStripMenuItem mI1 = new ToolStripMenuItem();
        mI1.Text = "Exit";

        mI1.Click += new EventHandler(Click\_Handler); //Add 

        cms.Items.Add(mI1);
       
        notifyIcon1.ContextMenuStrip = cms;
        notifyIcon1.Visible = true;
        
        
        notifyIcon1.Visible = true;
        notifyIcon1.BalloonTipTitle = "My service";
        notifyIcon1.Icon = new Icon("utility1.Ico");
        notifyIcon1.BalloonTipText = "Started Successfully";
        notifyIcon1.Text = "Service is running";
        notifyIcon1.ShowBalloonTip(500);

do you have a message pump? in a WinForm, when you show a form (with Show, ShowDialog or Application.Run) you get a message pump which deals with Windows messages and brings it all to life. A console app doesn't have a default message pump. One way to get one is by showing an invisible form (e.g. outside the desktop area). :)

I only read code that is properly indented, and rendered in a non-proportional font; hint: use PRE tags in forum messages

I don't have any idea about message pump. My console application is working as a server (in client server socket programming). I wrote the code for notify icon in the main function. Can I have links or example code that will help me to display the context menu in the notify icon of my console application??
