i am working on listing installed drivers in system as in Device manager. I got that list from Win32_PnPSignedDriver but it does not provide icons. Is there any way to find that or i have to add custom icons for the list. I want to generate output Like same as in Device manager.I found some reference in C/C++ but not in c#.
Here are two utility classes DeviceClass and Device that demonstrate how to do it. They don't use WMI, but the setupapi with p/invoke (and the System.Drawing's Icon class). I think this API is the only supported way to get the icon. You could then use WMI (using ids, and class ids to get more information this time using WMI).
Here is a comparison using these classes, in a Windows Form, and the Device Manager, as you see it's pretty close, but the class icon is not exactly the same, I don't know why, I've not investigated.
Last note: as expected, some devices have an icon that is different from their class and different from other icons in the same class. We can observe that in the first Audio class, the two devices don't have the same icon.
Here is the code:
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
// This is a standard Form. I have added a TreeView control and an ImageList to the Form.
// The image list is bound to the treeview, with ColorDepth set to Depth32Bit
var classes = DeviceClass.Load(DeviceFiter.AllClasses | DeviceFiter.Present);
foreach (var cls in classes)
{
var classNode = treeView1.Nodes.Add(cls.Description);
imageList1.Images.Add(cls.Icon);
classNode.ImageIndex = imageList1.Images.Count - 1;
classNode.SelectedImageIndex = classNode.ImageIndex;
foreach (var device in cls.Devices)
{
var deviceNode = classNode.Nodes.Add(device.Name);
imageList1.Images.Add(device.Icon);
deviceNode.ImageIndex = imageList1.Images.Count - 1;
deviceNode.SelectedImageIndex = deviceNode.ImageIndex;
}
classNode.Expand();
}
// dispose (icons)
foreach (var cls in classes)
{
foreach (var device in cls.Devices)
{
device.Dispose();
}
cls.Dispose();
}
}

There is a nice article using SHGetFileInfo function to get associated icons, i'd recommend looking into that.
You cannot do it using pure .Net or C# you will need this dll in the article.
EDIT
Maybe this MDSN Device Information will be of help
