ToolBoxBitmap for Custom Control?

Hello,

I tried applying the ToolBoxBitmap attribute to a WPF custom control (having
a bitmap file of 16x16 stored in the same folder with the control in the
Visual Studio 2008 project and set to be stored as an Embedded Resource in
the same assembly), but when I tried to add the control to the Visual Studio
toolbox it didn't use the bitmap as the icon of the new toolbox item that
represented the control (this worked fine for Windows Forms controls).

Does anyone know if anything happened with WPF controls in this direction,
i.e. if they do not use the ToolBoxBitmap anymore for showing icons in the
toolbox items representing the controls, how can a developer specify what
icon should be used for each control?

Thank you in advance,
