Try this

[DllImport("Shell32.dll")]
public extern static int ExtractIconEx( string libName, int iconIndex,
IntPtr[] largeIcon, IntPtr[] smallIcon, int nIcons );

int numIcons = 10;//if you want 10 icons for example

IntPtr[] largeIcon = new IntPtr[numIcons ];
IntPtr[] smallIcon = new IntPtr[numIcons ];

usage -

   ExtractIconEx( "shell32.dll", 0, largeIcon, smallIcon, numIcons );

    //retrieve icon from array
    Icon largeIico = Icon.FromHandle( largeIcon[0]);
    Icon smallIco = Icon.FromHandle( smallIcon[0]);

The first parameter of ExtractIconEx can be use to get icons for exe or dll.
