A DLL file contains some images inside PNG resource type.

I can view the PNG images in softwares like Resource Hacker, Anolis Resourcer & Resource Tuner. Check this screenshot of Anolis Resourcer for more details:

Can someone tell me how do I get the PNG image no. 5220 from the DLL file and put it inside a PictureBox? I don’t think APIs like LoadImage or LoadBitmap will work.

    // get the assembly containing the image
var assembly = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly();

// set the picturebox image to read the embedded resource
pictureBox1.Image = Image.FromStream(
    assembly.GetManifestResourceStream("AssemblyName.test.png")
);

    where AssemblyName.test.png is the fully qualified name of the embedded resource inside the assembly.

    UPDATE:

    It seems that you are trying to extract resources from a native assembly. You may take a look at the following article which illustrates how this could be done using P/Invoke.
