Where is a .net Application Icon Stored?

c#, icons, manifest, visual-studio, visual-studio-2008

Solution

Try this:

var icon = Icon.ExtractAssociatedIcon(Application.ExecutablePath);

Problem

I'm trying to figure out where my application's icon is stored in VS 2008. On the startup project's application properties, I added an icon with the setting "Embed manifest with default settings." I'd like to programatically display the icon in the application, but I can't figure out where the icon is being stored. How can I get a reference to the application's icon from code?
