If the reason you're asking is that the icon looks blurry to you, check out this very good article on the topic that I used to solve that problem: http://blogs.msdn.com/dwayneneed/archive/2007/10/05/blurry-bitmaps.aspx

You will have to use a custom control that not only sizes the icon exactly, but ensures that it coincides exactly with the pixel grid. Only then will you avoid interpolation and therefore blurriness.
