How can I get the icon from the executable file only having an instance of it's Process in C#

Question

I can get the executable location from the process, how do I get the icon from file?

Maybe use windows api LoadIcon(). I wonder if there is .NET way...

This is a sample from a console application implementation.

using System;
using System.Drawing;         //For Icon
using System.Reflection;      //For Assembly

namespace ConsoleApplication
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            try
            {
                //Gets the icon associated with the currently executing assembly
                //(or pass a different file path and name for a different executable)
                Icon appIcon = Icon.ExtractAssociatedIcon(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location);                
            }
            catch(ArgumentException ae) 
            {
                //handle
            }           
        }
    }
}
