Still trying to load a 48x48x32 icon into a VB.NET Picturebox
The collection of icons found in shell.dll in the System32 subdirectory are in a 48 x 48 pixel format.
If you tried loading one into a VB.NET Picturebox on a Form using the Property Sheet, the result looks like an under-nourished ant on the screen.
Does anyone know how to display one of these high res icons on a form?
Thanks.

You want to draw the icon onto surface then you can draw it into the PictureBox any size you want... The default when you use the property sheet probrably automatically loads the icon using the default system small icon semantics for that operating system.

You are correct quizwedge. I discovered this web page as well and it worked.
The only problem I am having right now is increasing the size of the icon image displayed, without sacreficing too much in the way of resoluton. I have brought this issue up as a separate question for The Experts.
