Hello.
I am making a web browser using geckofx. I have put the favicon in a picture box but I have changed my mind and now I want it as the form's icon. The code for the favicon is:

        Dim oURL As Uri = New Uri(e.Uri.AbsoluteUri)
        Dim favicon As Image
        If oURL.HostNameType = UriHostNameType.Dns Then

            Try
                Dim iconURL As String = "http://" & oURL.Host & "/favicon.ico"
                Dim request As System.Net.WebRequest = HttpWebRequest.Create(iconURL)
                Dim response As HttpWebResponse = request.GetResponse
                Dim stream As IO.Stream = response.GetResponseStream
            
            favicon = Image.FromStream(Stream)
            Catch
                PictureBox1.Image = PictureBox1.ErrorImage
            End Try
            Try
                If favicon Is Nothing Then
                    Dim result As String = String.Empty
                    For Each element As GeckoElement In GeckoWebBrowser1.document.DocumentElement.GetElementsByTagName("link")
                        If element.GetAttribute("REL") = "SHORTCUT ICON" Then
                            result = element.GetAttribute("HREF")
                        End If
                    Next
                    Dim req As WebRequest = HttpWebRequest.Create(result)
                    Dim res As HttpWebResponse = req.GetResponse
                    Dim str As IO.Stream = res.GetResponseStream
                    favicon = Image.FromStream(str)
                End If
            Catch ex As Exception
            End Try
        End If
        Try
            Me.PictureBox1.Image = favicon
        Catch ex As Exception
        End Try

The favicon works fine in the picture box but i think it will look better as an icon. If i change the line Me.PictureBox1.Image = favicon to Form1.icon = favicon I get the error Value of type 'System.Drawing.Image' cannot be converted to 'System.Drawing.Icon'.

How can I get this to work?
Thanks in advance!

Might be a stupid question, but if you're using GeckoFX, would it be a different language to VB.NET?

Gecko can be used in all sorts of programming.

Back to the question, how can i convert system.drawing.image to system.drawing.icon?

Here:

        Dim img As Image = 'Whatever your image is...
        Dim bm As Bitmap = img
        Dim hIcon As IntPtr = bm.GetHicon
        Dim TheIcon As Icon = Icon.FromHandle(hIcon)

GeckoFX is a control that has been distributed for many different programming platforms.

Thanks! It was just what I was looking for.
