Referencing an embedded icon, convert to image?

I have an icon that I can reference by the following:

Dim im As System.Drawing.Image
im = im.FromFile(lsapppath & "ChkMrk.ico")
g_mainform.fg.SetCellImage(g_mainform.FG.Row, 5, im)
The problem is that I do NOT want to reference this as "from file" - the icon is already
embedded in the program, but I can't seem to find a way to convert my embedded icon
to an image.

Any help appreciated. TIA.
 
You can get embedded objects through the resource reader. See info on ResourceReader

Um, well, thanks, but that still doesn't help me. A real-life example would be appreciated.

Dim myIcon As Icon = New System.Drawing.Icon(Me.GetType,
"MyEmbeddedIcon.ico")
Dim myBitmap As Bitmap = Bitmap.FromHicon(myIcon.Handle)

Dim myBitmap As Bitmap = Bitmap.FromHicon(myIcon.Handle)
Click to expand...

Alternatively it may be the preferred way to store a bitmap instead of
the icon...
