Extracting Icons from an Assembly...

[Kieron]

Hi,

Im using a series of Icons as Embedded Resources. Ive several difference sizes of the same icon, e.g. Customer16.ico, Customer32.ico... etc.

Is there a way of extracting the required icon from a single icon file?

Do you mean getting either the 32x32 or 16x16 version of an icon from the same icon file?

I do...sorry

To this, you first create your source icon, I assume using the stream returned by GetManifestResourceStream. I take it youre doing this already. You then use the following to extract the different sized icons from it:

iconLarge = New Icon(iconSource, New Size(32, 32))
iconSmall = New Icon(iconSource, New Size(16, 16))

iconLarge = new Icon(iconSource, new Size(32, 32));
iconSmall = new Icon(iconSource, new Size(16, 16));
