I have am .ico file attached to the assembly as a Resource. I want to
convert this Icon to an Image object. I was unable to find anything on the
web about such convertion.

I can retrieve the icon using

Icon icon = new Icon(GetType(), "fileName.ICO");

Thanks!
 
Ron,

What you want to do is call the ToBitmap method on the Icon instance,
and it will return an instance of a Bitmap. Since Bitmap derives from
Image, it should suit your needs quite nicely.

Hope this helps.
 
I cannot believe I missed that...Thanks!
