Not sure why the icon isn't saving properly. Does seem like a bug in the icon Save method. But this works if you don't mind saving as a bitmap:
Icon icon = Icon.ExtractAssociatedIcon(@"C:\WINDOWS\system32\notepad.exe");
icon.ToBitmap().Save(@"C:\DLICO.bmp");
or use this class to extract the icon:
public class ExtractIcon
{
[DllImport("Shell32.dll")]
private static extern int SHGetFileInfo( string pszPath, uint dwFileAttributes, out SHFILEINFO psfi, uint cbfileInfo, SHGFI uFlags );
[StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential)]
private struct SHFILEINFO
{
public SHFILEINFO(bool b)
{
hIcon = IntPtr.Zero; iIcon = 0; dwAttributes = 0; szDisplayName = ""; szTypeName = "";
}
public IntPtr hIcon;
public int iIcon;
public uint dwAttributes;
[MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPStr, SizeConst = 260)]
public string szDisplayName;
[MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPStr, SizeConst = 80)]
public string szTypeName;
};
private ExtractIcon()
{
}
private enum SHGFI
{
SmallIcon = 0x00000001,
LargeIcon = 0x00000000,
Icon = 0x00000100,
DisplayName = 0x00000200,
Typename = 0x00000400,
SysIconIndex = 0x00004000,
UseFileAttributes = 0x00000010
}
public static Icon GetIcon(string strPath, bool bSmall)
{
SHFILEINFO info = new SHFILEINFO(true);
int cbFileInfo = Marshal.SizeOf(info);
SHGFI flags;
if (bSmall)
{
flags = SHGFI.Icon | SHGFI.SmallIcon | SHGFI.UseFileAttributes;
}
else
{
flags = SHGFI.Icon | SHGFI.LargeIcon | SHGFI.UseFileAttributes;
}
SHGetFileInfo(strPath, 256, out info, (uint)cbFileInfo, flags);
return Icon.FromHandle(info.hIcon);
}
}
