Hi, I'm displaying a list of files, and I'd like to put the same images next to them as Solution Explorer does. Of course I could start digging out images for all known file types. But before you know it, your addin runs on a machine where the user has installed BrainFuck.Net or some other exotic thing. So where does Solution Explorer get its images, and can I go there too? Also, I'd like to use some of the images that are used in the menus (such as the green triangle for Build->Start Debugging.) I've looked in VS2005 Image Library, but they aren't there. Any other way but to screen dump and crop? Thanks, Torben Frandsen

Here is the thread that discusses the topic: "Icon.FromHandle + ImageList = decreased color depth" http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.drawing/browse_frm/thread/7c834685cc622425/89a514fc170617fa > Also, I'd like to use some of the images that are used in the > menus (such as the green triangle for Build->Start Debugging.) > I've looked in VS2005 Image Library, but they aren't there.

Here is the famous FaceID browser: "FaceID Browser" http://skp.mvps.org/faceid.htm Google for FaceID Browser to find many different implementations. Also, you can download MS Office 2003 icons as .PNG files here (thanks to some Chinese guy): http://www.cnblogs.com/birdshome/archive/2006/04/12/372753.html HTH Alex
