If the icon you are extracting is of proper .NET icon format then you should be able to use the methods of the icon class to convert to a bitmap (.ToBitmap() possibly). If the file is not carrying any .NET native icons you will need to use icon API commands. Try searching the site here, I think I have seen at least one article on this.
