C# get thumbnail from file via windows api
Solution 1:
Ran across this today -- it's a few months old, but it got the job done for me (on Win7, extracting thumbnails on MPEG-4 files):
- Source : https://github.com/dbarros/WindowsAPICodePack
- Nuget : https://www.nuget.org/packages/WindowsAPICodePack-Shell
Code:
ShellFile shellFile = ShellFile.FromFilePath(pathToYourFile);
Bitmap shellThumb = shellFile.Thumbnail.ExtraLargeBitmap;
Hope it helps!
Solution 2:
Microsoft Office Thumbnails in SharePoint at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa289172(VS.71).aspx. is exactly what you want. (I had no trouble converting the VB.NET code into C# using http://www.developerfusion.com/tools/convert/vb-to-csharp/.)
Regarding the code you posted in your answer, Thumbnail Extraction Using the Shell at http://www.vbaccelerator.com/home/net/code/libraries/Shell_Projects/Thumbnail_Extraction/article.asp is the original article the code is from. I believe nearly all IExtractImage samples (you find searching) are based on this article's code, due to naming convention, comments, and so on, that are carried from the original. Since this article dates from April 2003, it carries some non-standard (non-.NET) coding conventions. I did some basic testing, and there are garbage collection issues, freeing unmanaged resource issues, and other clean-up issues. Therefore, I make a strong recommendation to avoid the code in that article. Moreover, the code is structured is such a way to make maintenance difficult.
There is a clean simplier version on MSDN, dated July 2005, called Microsoft Office Thumbnails in SharePoint at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa289172(VS.71).aspx. This code and the article's code share similarities, which leads me to believe the Thumbnail Extraction Using the Shell article is the basis for the SharePoint article. The VB.NET version of GetThumbnailImage ignores the longestEdge parameter, but the C++ version uses it and documents the use of the ORIGSIZE and QUALITY flags. In addition, the code illustrates how to use .NET's FreeCoTaskMem instead of the Shell's IMalloc and SHGetMalloc.
IExtractImage works with files, folders, and other namespace objects. The MSDN code works with hidden files, whereas, the vbAccelerator code needs then SHCONTF_INCLUDEHIDDEN added to the EnumObjects call. In addition, the vbAccelerator enumerates over the shell folder's objects looking for the specified file, which seems a waste of time. This may have been needed to find the correct "relative" PIDL that is used for the GetUIObjectOf call.

This includes the Shell API, and allows you to do almost everything that the shell can (including rendering thumbnails).
