This code will convert an Image to Icon. It is using System.Drawing namespace for Image manipulation and System.IO namespace of generating filename and writing file content.


///
/// Converts an Image to Icon - Supports Image Size upto 128x128
///

/// Filename of the Image to convert
private void Image2Icon(string fileName)
{
//Creats filename with ico extention
string newFileName = Path.ChangeExtension(fileName, ".ico");
//Loading the File to the Bitmap
using (Bitmap bitMap = Image.FromFile(fileName,true) as Bitmap)
{
using (Icon icon = Icon.FromHandle(bitMap.GetHicon()))
{
//Creating the Icon file and Writing the content
using (Stream stream = File.Create(newFileName))
{
icon.Save(stream);
}
}
}
}
