SHGetFileInfo - Return Icon without using ImageList

I am using the SHGetFileInfo to return the system icon. Is there
anyway to return and display the icon with out having to return it to
the ListView?

I'm using the SHGetFileInfo in my SharePoint C# solution web part, and
I cannot reference the system.windows.forms reference so I can not
access the ListView. So I wanted to see if there was a way to return
the Icon from the SHGetFileInfo and display it.
Thanks,

Adrian

Sure, there's no need for a ListView. Just specify the SHGFI_ICON flag
and you'll get an icon handle back.
