below is code i have working....
What if the icon/image is stored in another dll
How would i go about retrieving that icon/image
Assembly assembly = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly();

// Retrieve a list of resource names contained by the assembly.

string[] resourceNames = assembly.GetManifestResourceNames();

foreach (string resourceName in resourceNames)

{

Console.WriteLine(resourceName);

}

// Retrieving an image resource follows the same principle.

string ResourceName = string.Format("{0}.{1}", assembly.GetName().Name,
"STOP.ICO");

Console.WriteLine(ResourceName);

using(Stream barStream = assembly.GetManifestResourceStream(ResourceName))
//barResourceName)))

{

using (Icon oIcon = new Icon(barStream))

{

Bitmap oBitmap = oIcon.ToBitmap();

this.pictureBox1.Image = oBitmap;

}

}
