Referencing an embedded icon, convert to image?

I have an icon that I can reference by the following:

Dim im As System.Drawing. Image
im = im.FromFile(lsa pppath & "ChkMrk.ico ")
g_mainform.fg.S etCellImage(g_m ainform.FG.Row, 5, im)
The problem is that I do NOT want to reference this as "from file" - the icon is already
embedded in the program, but I can't seem to find a way to convert my embedded icon
to an image.

Any help appreciated. TIA.

You can get embedded objects through the resource reader. See info on ResourceReader

Um, well, thanks, but that still doesn't help me. A real-life example would be appreciated.

Dim myIcon As Icon = New System.Drawing. Icon(Me.GetType ,
"MyEmbeddedIcon .ico")
Dim myBitmap As Bitmap = Bitmap.FromHico n(myIcon.Handle )

Alternatively it may be the preferred way to store a bitmap instead of
the icon...

I'm fairly new to VB .NET and programming in general, and I want to give my program its own icon without it being a separate file. I have the icon as part of the project, and its Build Action is set to Embedded Resource. I've searched high and low for the code that will actually make it load as the program's default icon, but nothing I've found works. Can someone give me the code necessary to do this?
