Icon not saving in correct format
-
I am trying to save an image from a PictureBox to an icon file, but I'm having two problems. 1. When saving the image to an icon, (.ico and
ImageFormat.Icon) it saves but it gets an "Unknown File Type" icon instead of it's own. But if I save it as a bitmap, (.ico andImageFormat.Bmp) it saves and displays fine. Why is this? Shouldn't it be the other way around? 2. No matter which format I save the icon in, when trying to open it in a icon editor I get an error saying either: "Not An Icon File" or "Invalid Icon Header File". I have done plenty of research and every site I found says to save an icon the same way I am. Which is:Dim IconImg As Bitmap
IconImg = ImgBox.Image
IconImg.Save("C:\Image.ico", System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Icon)What am I missing? Thanks for the help!
Trinity: Neo... nobody has ever done this before. Neo: That's why it's going to work.

Thanks, but that involves drastically editing my code, and it saves the icons in 16-bit colors instead of 32-bit (and I can't figure out why). Is there another way? Thanks anyway!
