Got .PNG file. Want embeffffded icon resource displayed as icon on form title bar

Question

This was an interview question. Given Visual Studio 2008 and an icon saved as a .PNG file, they required the image as an embedded resource and to be used as the icon within

Answer 1

This worked for my purposes since all of my resources were PNG files:

[System.Runtime.InteropServices.DllImport("user32.dll", CharSet = CharSet.Auto)]
extern static bool DestroyIcon(IntPtr handle);

// From http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.drawing.bitmap.gethicon.aspx
private Icon bitmapToIcon(Bitmap myBitmap)
{
    // Get an Hicon for myBitmap.
    IntPtr Hicon = myBitmap.GetHicon();

    // Create a new icon from the handle.
    Icon newIcon = Icon.FromHandle(Hicon);

    return newIcon;
}
