Need help getting favicon working in browser C# WPF

I have been trying to get favicon working on the Web browser that I am creating. I assume that I have to use an image and apply code to it. I found this code but FromStream and FromFile are giving me the error System.Windows.Controls.Image does not contain a definition for FromStream for both, as I am fairly new to programming I do not know what I need to do to solve the problem.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This is the code:

public static Image favicon(String u, string file)
{
   Uri url = new Uri(u);
   String iconurl = "http://" + url.Host + "/favicon.ico";

   WebRequest request = WebRequest.Create(iconurl);
   try
   {
       WebResponse response = request.GetResponse();

       Stream s = response.GetResponseStream();
       return Image.FromStream(s);
   }
   catch (Exception ex)
   {
       //return a default icon in case 
       //the web site doesn`t have a favicon
       return Image.FromFile(file);
   }
}

I went through your code.

You need to use Image from System.Drawing namespace by referencing System.Drawing.dll.

System.Drawing.Image.FromStream(s)

System.Windows.Controls.Image does not have FromFile and FromStream methods.

Hope this helps.
