icon to byte [] C# compact framework

I've looked around for an answer to this for quite some time.

I need to convert an icon to a byte[] in .NETCF but there is no icon.save() function in compact framework to create a MemoryStream object. What is another way that I can do this?

Thanks

There's two things I can think of, one of them is suggested by Christian, the other one is that if it is a resource, can't you get a ResourceStream? This works if you make the icon an Embedded Resource (example found here)

This SO thread also discusses something not unlike your problem.

If all you need is the raw bytes of the .Ico file then you can just read it directly with a file stream

Is it possible to call Icon.ToBitmap() and then read the bytes from the bitmap?
