Steam Game Icon

Question

I am making a file explorer and for the thumbnail view it requires the icon of a file. I have gotten an icon for all of the files except for steam games. I have looked around and cannot find a way to get the icon like Windows does.

Edit: This is what i currently use to get my file icons:

public static Bitmap GetBigImage(string path, Size size)
    {
        Bitmap bmp;
        string ext = System.IO.Path.GetExtension(path);

        if (ext == ".exe")
        {
            Icon ico = Icon.ExtractAssociatedIcon(path);
            bmp = ico.ToBitmap();
            ico.Dispose();
        }
        else
        {
            if (imageType.Contains(ext.Replace(".", "")))
            {
                Image img = Image.FromFile(path);
                bmp = new Bitmap(img, new Size(size.Width - 20, 80));
                img.Dispose();
            }
            else
            {
                Icon ico = Win32.GetLargeIconForExtension(ext);
                bmp = ico.ToBitmap();
                ico.Dispose();
            }
        }

        return bmp;
    }

This is the path I am trying to get steam://rungameid/209170

In GetBigImage, if I see if the path contains steam:// (in either of the if statements) the method still returns no icon.

Answer 1

There is a Database of Steam Games here. Each entry leads to a page that includes a link to the game's icon.

Your ID leads to this page where this link points to the icon.

Note that there usually is a real icon under the field 'clienticon' and also a plain jpg strangely named 'icon'!

For an explorer type app I recommend caching those icon.

Hope this helps.
