How to extract the 256x256 icon from an icon and display it in .Net, Winforms, XP

Question

Here's the code that I use to extract the icon size that I want:

    Dim i As Icon = My.Resources.Spectrum
    Using i2 As New Icon(i, New Size(256, 256))
        Me.PictureBox1.Image = i2.ToBitmap
    End Using

This works from 16x16 up to 128x128 but for 256x256 it extracts the 128x128 icon. I tried 0x0, because I seem to remember that that is how the large size is stored in the meta data, but that didn't work either.

Answer 1

stupid question... are you sure your resource contains the 256x256 version of the icon?

Answer 2

Are you sure your source actually contains a 256x256 resource? Have you tried against a different source icon?
