c# - Why isn't my NotifyIcon showing up?

Question

I'm trying to get a notifyIcon to show a BalloonTip, but it won't show up when I press the button

 private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
 {                                    
       OsWatchNotify.Visible = true;
       OsWatchNotify.BalloonTipText = "Example";
       OsWatchNotify.BalloonTipTitle = "example title";
       OsWatchNotify.ShowBalloonTip(1);                          
 }

any and all help would be appreciated.

There are not that many ways to fumble a NotifyIcon. Except one, if you forget to set its Icon property then it will never show up. Ought to raise an exception but that was overlooked.
