.NET 2.0 with toolstrip

I'm using .NET 2.0 with a tooltsrtip in a form. I have added a button to the tool strip, and I used the image property to assign a image to the button. Now I want to create a pressed in pushed out effect with two different images. My question is, how do I dynamically change the image associated with the button on the toolstrip?

Use the following statement:

myToolStrip.Items(index).Image = System.Drawing.Image.FromFile("filePath") 'or any other image source

Right, I guess I didn't write my question well, I wanted the flow logic code to be able to switch back and forth between images, right now I'm using a resource file and this code to change images:

toolStripButton4.Image = Prototype.Properties.Resources.PushPin_Selected.png;

But i'm not sure of the logic I need to switch the pin images from selected to unselected and back based on the click event

It's not working, here's my code:

private void toolStripButton4_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{

if (toolStripButton4.Checked)
{
toolStripButton4.Image = Prototype.Properties.Resources.color_tab_enemy_selected;
}
else
{
toolStripButton4.Image = Prototype.Properties.Resources.color_tab_enemy_unselected;
}
}

Am I missing a setting on the control?

OK, I found it, I had to set the CheckOnClick event to true - thanks again Nayer
