Getting icon from form in dynamically loaded DLLI have a main VB.NET application that loads another VB.NET DLL
dynamically. Once I have done that, I would like to be able to 'get' the icon of a form in that dynamically loaded DLL. How would one go about doing this in the main form, once the DLL has been loaded? Thanks in advance.

Maybe I should word this differently - since I know how to access a form dynamically - How would one 'get' the icon of a Windows form via VB? --

Designer generated code" region to see how the resource is loaded. Armin Armin: I see what you are saying... however, I may have been 'dumb'
about this whole thing... Once I have loaded a DLL, and I know what the form is, and have a reference to it (i.e. a variable), wouldn't it be easier to simply reference that forms .Icon property and grab the icon?? Then I can convert it to a bitmap, picture, whatever....
