Icons From ImageList

[apc2003]

I have an ImageList with a collection of 8 Icons ranging from position 0-7.

I am trying to create a new instance of an Icon from a position in the ImageList.

Icon myIcon = new Icon(imageList1.Images[0])

This code wont work but I believe it may be the basis of the answer, I can't seem to get the syntax correct and get errors relating to converting image to icon.

Can anyone suggest a simple answer to this prob?

Thanx in advance...

An Icon object could be constructed from another one Icon object, from a Stream or from a string that point to a resource in your assembly.
If you added an Icon object to the imageList1 object then it was converted to a Bitmap before storing it.
When you use imageList1.Images[0] ; you retrieve an Image object and you cannot convert it to an Icon or to a Bitmap because there are no such operators.

Oh right, well in that case, is there any way to add icons to a .dll or some resource file so as i can call them from there as opposed to calling them direct from a folder location?

If so how do i do this as i am totally in the dark when it comes to resouce files and .dll's etc...

Again thanx in advance...
