View 1 RepliesI need to save Bitmap object loaded from image file (.png, .jpeg, .bmp) and save it as an icon (.ico) to a separate file.
First I tried saving Bitmap object to a file with Icon ImageFormat:
using System.Drawing;
Bitmap bmp = (Bitmap)pictureBox1.Image;
bmp.Save(@"C:icon.ico", Imaging.ImageFormat.Icon);
This one fails, as the icon produced is not in a proper format and it cannot be used as an icon.
Next one was to get HIcon from Bitmap and save it to a file:
using System.Drawing;
using System.IO;
StreamWriter iconWriter = new StreamWriter(@"C:icon.ico");
[Code]....
This one does not do the job too. Although icon file is properly written, it has only 16 colors and a limited width and height.
I'd like to be able to write icons with custom width and height that would preserve colors from the original image. Is this possible to achive in .NET?

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to save a setting that keeps what background image I'm currently using.If it's an external file, there is no problem, i can just get the .location and set it in a String setting to store it.
But, if I want to store an image resource as a setting, how do i do it?I know i can store rawdata, like bitmap information, but then i can't set that type of data to the my.background.
I don't know if the question should be: "how do i reference resources", but the my.resources.resource.methodsList doesnt contain anything that seems to be of use.
I'm making a program and in which the user can select a background image from their computer, but I have not found a way to save the picture to my.settings or my.resources

View 2 RepliesI am trying to develop an inventory system.The datagridview that was done by dragging and dropping onto a form would have a bindingnavigator which had "move first, move previous, move next, move last, add, delete and save icons" but when I deleted the bindingvigator and brought in a new one from the toolbox, the "save icon" wasn't there. The reason I was doing so is because I wanted to have all my database tables in a tabcontrol. So could you please tell me how I can code the "save icon" which save the data in a datagridview.

View 1 RepliesI'm not sure exactly if the folder icon is in shell32.dll, but nonetheless if it is.Basically, whenever I come across a folder in a FileSystem list, I want to add the icon for a folder to the image list that I am using for the ListView.

View 14 RepliesGot an annoying issue it's Visual Basic 2010 I changed icon where the assembly name.I got a good icon it has lots of sizes, or I tried diff sizes like 64x64 128x128 nothing seems to work I only see the icon when i do View > Details so it's small icons in the folder, but if i have view large icons It doesn't work. I even used the same icon on VS 2008 and it worked.
View 1 RepliesHere's the code that I use to extract the icon size that I want:
Dim i As Icon = My.Resources.Spectrum
Using i2 As New Icon(i, New Size(256, 256))
Me.PictureBox1.Image = i2.ToBitmap
End Using
This works from 16x16 up to 128x128 but for 256x256 it extracts the 128x128 icon. I tried 0x0, because I seem to remember that that is how the large size is stored in the meta data, but that didn't work either.
I'm attempting to remake the Explorer to customize it some more. I know how to get Name, FileSize ect. Getting the Icon is hard though.

The code i'm using to Insert the Icon into a image, i'm getting this error: Error1Value of type 'System. Drawing.Icon' cannot be converted to 'System.Drawing.Image'
i'm getting this really strange error, or I must be overlooking something obvious. I'm using the following piece of code:Dim hwnd As Integer = GetWindow(GetDesktopWindow, GW_ CHILD) Dim myicon.As System.Drawing.Icon =Icon.FromHandle(hwnd)PictureBox1.Image =myicon.ToBitmap
