good but i don't need to save the icon and also i mentioned that the image is from selected item in a listview and i want it to be drawed on the top of the form.

When I use Bitmap = new Bitmap(Image);
My compiler says that an 'Object reference is not set to an instance of an object.'

I have been trying to convert a Picturebox to bitmap. Can you show me how to do it.

I think my problem is the picturebox does not load during the code execution but after the execution.
