@msdn=http://search.microsoft.com/search/results.aspx?qu=$$$ @pinvoke=http://pinvoke.net/$$$.htm Summary: The ExtractIcon API !!!!C# Signature: [DllImport("shell32.dll")] static extern IntPtr ExtractIcon(IntPtr hInst, string lpszExeFileName, int nIconIndex); !!!!VB.NET Signature: <DllImport("shell32.dll")> _ Private Shared Function ExtractIcon(ByVal hInst As IntPtr, ByVal lpszExeFileName As String, ByVal nIconIndex As Integer) As IntPtr End Function !!!!User-Defined Types: None. !!!!Notes: Even though the Win32 function signature declares the third parameter as '''UINT nIconIndex''', in .NET it must be a signed integer. This is because '''UINT''' is actually an alias for the '''int''' data type. Also, ''ExtractIcon()'' accepts -1 (an invalid value for unsigned integers) as an icon index, which will return the total number of icons in the specified file. !!!!Tips & Tricks: Please add some! !!!!C# Sample Code: string fileName = "C:\\Test.txt"; IntPtr hIcon = ExtractIcon(IntPtr.Zero, filename, 0); System.Drawing.Icon MyIcon = System.Drawing.Icon.FromHandle(hIcon); pictureBox1.Image = MyIcon.ToBitmap(); !!!!VB.NET Sample Code: Dim fileName As String = "C:\Test.txt" Dim hIcon As IntPtr = ExtractIcon(IntPtr.Zero, filename, 0) Dim MyIcon As System.Drawing.Icon = System.Drawing.Icon.FromHandle(hIcon) pictureBox1.Image = MyIcon.ToBitmap() !!!!Alternative Managed API: System.Drawing.Icon.ExtractAssociatedIcon(fileName); Documentation: ExtractIcon@msdn on MSDN
