how to extract icon (or resource) ?

Hi,

In VB 2005, How to extract icons (or images or other resources) from a file
..resx, .resource, .dll or .exe and then to create a new file with this
resource (.ico, .jpg ..) ?

Thanks

Dominique

Hi Dominique,

The general approach is to get the resource stream using
Assembly.GetMan ifestResourceSt ream with the full qualified name for the
resource (namespace.reso urcefile, case sensitive), and then you use the
image constructors that take a stream as input parameter:

Dim objStream As System.IO.Strea m
Dim objBitmap As System.Drawing. Bitmap

objStream =
System.Reflecti on.Assembly.Get ExecutingAssemb ly.GetManifestR esourceStream(r esourceNamespac e.resourceName)

objBitmap = New System.Drawing. Bitmap(objStrea m)

objStream.Close ()

VB 2005 offers the use of the methods of My.Resources.Re sourceManager.G etXXX

Hi Carlos,

Thanks you very much for your answer.
I think the solution in VB 2005 is with My.Resources.Re sourceManager (many
links in google and an article in msdn number of may 06).
