Load icon from dll resource [newbie]

[Maciek]

Hi,
I've got dll resource file [icons.dll] with icon and I don't how to
get it.
Is it exists something like:

Icon myIcon = ...icons.dll...?

I've read about Loadlibrary(), LoadResource() and ExtractIconEx() -
but there is a problem - I don't have this function.

Tnx for help

Hello Maciek,
If your icons.dll is a .NET assembly you might implement Assembly.GetManifestResourceStream


Best of luck!

I use ExtractIcon method:

[DllImport("shell32.dll",CharSet=CharSet.Auto)]
public static extern IntPtr ExtractIcon(int hInst,string file,int
index);

public Icon loadIcon(int index) {
return Icon.FromHandle(ExtractIcon(GetModuleHandle(String.Empty),
"Icons.dll", index);
)

Does exist analogue method, which has id param (string) instead of
index? So, I want call loadIcon("someUniqueName"); instead of
loadIcon(123);
