You don't need to read the resources.
You will find that those are already exposed in dotnet as SystemIcons.

MyBitmap = SystemIcons.Exc lamation.ToBitm ap
MyBitmap = SystemIcons.Err or.ToBitmap

My FAQ:

For the system icons:

Have a look at the 'SystemIcons' class.

For the system sounds:

\\\
Private Declare Auto Function MessageBeep Lib "user32.dll " ( _
ByVal wType As Int32 _
) As Boolean

Private Const MB_ICONASTERISK As Int32 = &H40 ' Information.
Private Const MB_ICONEXCLAMAT ION As Int32 = &H30 ' Ausrufezeichen.
Private Const MB_ICONHAND As Int32 = &H10 ' Stopschild.
Private Const MB_ICONQUESTION As Int32 = &H20 ' Fragezeichen.
Private Const MB_OK As Int32 = &H0 ' Standard-OK.
///

Usage:

\\\
MessageBeep(MB_ ICONHAND)
///
