I have a WPF application that needs to extract the icon off of an executable.

I found here that I can do this

Icon ico = Icon.ExtractAssociatedIcon(theProcess.MainModule.FileName);

but when I try to set the source of a WPF Image I get

“Cannot implicitly convert type ‘System.Drawing.Icon’ to ‘System.Windows.Media.ImageSource’

Any suggestions ?

    Icons get no love in the .NET framework. You’ll have to use Icon.Save() to save the icon you got into a MemoryStream. Which allows you to use the IconBitmapDecoder constructor that takes a stream.
