ImageExtensionsSaveAsIcon(Image, String, Boolean) Method

Saves the specified image as an Icon without relying on a built-in encoder in the operating system. Unlike the Save(Stream, ImageFormat) method, this one supports every PixelFormat and does not save a PNG stream when no built-in Icon encoder can be found in the operating system.
See the Remarks section of the SaveAsIcon(Image, Stream, Boolean) overload for details.
