icons in Solution Explorer

Hello,

In my application I want to display same icons that are displayed in
Solution Explorer. I know that these icons are in csproj.dll file (for C#
projects), but Solution Explorer does not use the default icon for C#
project (that is used in Windows Explorer) with index 0, but the one with
index 55. The same applies for other types of projects. Is there a way to
obtain these icons automatically (i.e. without hard coding)?

Thanks in advance,

Julijan,

Probably not. How VS.NET gets the icons for it's projects is up to
itself. They don't have much reason to expose those things publically.
