Icon.ToBitmap Method

Definition

Converts this Icon to a GDI+ Bitmap.

C#
public System.Drawing.Bitmap ToBitmap();

Returns

A Bitmap that represents the converted Icon.

Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to use the ToBitmap method. This example is designed to be used with Windows Forms. Create a form and paste the following code into it. Call the IconToBitmap method in the form's .Paint event handler, passing e as PaintEventArgs .

C#
private void IconToBitmap(PaintEventArgs e)
{
    // Construct an Icon.
    Icon icon1 = new Icon(SystemIcons.Exclamation, 40, 40);

    // Call ToBitmap to convert it.
    Bitmap bmp = icon1.ToBitmap();

    // Draw the bitmap.
    e.Graphics.DrawImage(bmp, new Point(30, 30));
}

Remarks

The transparent areas of the icon are lost when it is converted to a bitmap, and the transparent color of the resulting bitmap is set to RGB(13,11,12). The returned bitmap has the same height and width as the original icon.
