Get a icon from resourse file

[Lou]

How do i get an icon from a resourse file
Dim IC As New Icon(Icon, "mnu_file_open")

That doesn't work?

Assuming you have embedded the icon in the current assembly:

Dim res As New
System.IO.StreamReader([Assembly].GetEntryAssembly.GetManifestResourceStream("mnu_f ile_open"))
Dim ico As System.Drawing.Icon

ico = New System.Drawing.Icon(res)
res.Close()

Overload function failed.
StreamReader cannot be converted to stream.

I changed
ico = New System.Drawing.Icon(res)

to
ico = New System.Drawing.Icon(res.BaseStream)

but now it crashes on
System.IO.StreamReader([Assembly].GetEntryAssembly.GetManifestResourceStream("mnu_f ile_open"))I have a resource fil in my project but how do I add it to the assembly?"Siva M" <sh******@online.excite.com> wrote in messagenews:uw**************@TK2MSFTNGP15.phx.gbl. ..> Assuming you have embedded the icon in the current assembly:>> Dim res As New>System.IO.StreamReader([Assembly].GetEntryAssembly.GetManifestResourceStream("mnu_f ile_open"))> Dim ico As System.Drawing.Icon>> ico = New System.Drawing.Icon(res)> res.Close()>>> "Lou" <lo********@comcast.net> wrote in message> news:ei*************@TK2MSFTNGP09.phx.gbl...> How do i get an icon from a resourse file> Dim IC As New Icon(Icon, "mnu_file_open")>>>> That doesn't work?>>>

What error are you getting? Are you passing the correct resource name
(including the namespace)?

System.ArgumentNullException im mscorlib.dll

The name of my resourse file is SC.rs
How does the function know that?
I am confused as how this should work?
When you say "Embedded icon in my assembly" what do you mean. I know I have
a .res file with an icon in it.
