VS 2008 Extracting Icon From .exe To .ico File?
Jul 20, 2009
I have been looking everywhere to find a way to extract the main icon from for example c:/test/file.exe and put the icon in for example c:/test/fileicon.ico i did find something but the icon looked dreadful, it must of been like 16 colours.
anyway if someone has managed to do this or knows how to do it please help before i go insane.
also i will settle for knowing how to do it with reshacker.exe instead which i also cant get to work.

How can I associate an icon path with a picturebox by pasting the path into a textbox and then pressing a button? I've been trying different things with the system.drawing.bitmap and system.drawing.icon but they don't seem to work OR I'm using them the wrong way.
The icon I'm trying to extract and put into the picturebox: C:WindowsSystem32shell32.dll,3 (the 3rd icon in shell32.dll)

I have a program made in VB that on a button click extracts a exe file from its resources to the HDD then runs the program and deletes it after it closes. I first used the desktop to extract the file to, but seeing as I need to use this program on several computers the account names will be different so this is of no use. I've tried using C: but access is denied.

I've found all sorts of threads about extracting file icons, and I'm able to do that no problem, but I would like to also extract some other information from a file (like you can find in the properties window), such as the file description. Are there any commands that are geared specifically toward getting this information?

How do I make my application open a file that is dragged over the applications icon? I am planning on being able to drag an XML file and the application goes into an import mode to create a new record in the DB. I think I may need to have an identifier in the header of the file such as ClientImg or the likes so that the App looks for that to let it know it is the proper file type. Note to JMC: I would look this up, but I do not know what it is called

I'm trying to use SHFILEINFO to get the high res icon off of a file. I've been able to get the stnadard (32X32 16 color) icons, but I can't seem to grab the high res version.
I'm using the sample code from: [URL]
I have uncommented the section for the high res icon and removed the code for the small icon. I'm still only getting the standard icon. I have also tried 'ExtractAssociatedIcon' as recomended by other threads here, but this also only gives me the standard icon.

I'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. The problem is that I'm not sure how to reference a specific icon location in a icon collection in a dll.Is this possible with Icon.ExtractAssociatedIcon and shell32.dll?

I am working on a vb6 to vb.net migration project using VS 3.5. In my application, there is .resx file and some icons are there in this file (eg: icoIN,icoUS etc). On click of a checked listbox (which is filled with country names), the particular country flag should be displayed on a picture box control. The image of country flag is taken from the .resx file.I tried with the following code.

I'm sick of my EXE files only looking decent in one view in explorer (ie List or Tiles etc) because I can only figure out how to specify one icon file for my projects so it has to be a specific size and if its too big it looks rubbish at smaller sizes in explorer, and vice versa if its too small. So how can I embed more than one icon file and make it automatically select the correct one to display in explorer depending on the view? I believe you can store more than one icon in an ICO file, so do you have to just combine the various size icons into one ICO and then explorer will automatically select the correct sized on? Or is it something you have to do within the VB project?

I am writing an application that will cache all my files and then let me display files that I would like to display. I am wanting to extract the icons from each file as I cache them.My question is this: How can I detect if the icon from one file is the same as another icon and therefore prevent me from extracting it twice?

I am trying to extract text from an htm file (output.htm) to write into an SQL database.
I used "pdftotxt" to re-write the original pdf document into an htm file, in 'raw' format, and end up with lines like this:
Sun20
Off
0330
0329
[Code]....
What I am trying to do, using the above example, is to look for anywhere in the list where a date(e.g Mon24) is followed by lines containing KL ####, and to extract the date and the KL #### for writting to a database.
It seems like a huge task that is way beyond my limited capabilities, so I would be very grateful for some sample code in VBasic.

I am trying to extract text from a .pptx file. I am able to extract from all other shapes except a shape that is identified as a msoPicture to right click on this shape in powerpoint and ungroup it, but when I try to do this from code it tell me that the ungroup method only applied to group shapes.I did some research and found out that the msopicture shape comes from a .emf file but I don't have the least idea how to ungroup this shape or get the text from it through code.NB: When I right click on the shape in powerpoint and select ungroup a message box pops up saying "This is an imported picture, not a group. Do you want to convert it to a Microsoft Office drawing object?". But I cannot seem to find a way in code to convert this shape to Ms Office drawing object.

The problem I'm having is that pkgMain.GetParts() never returns anything even though the .zip file has around 100 items in it.
