You can use GDI+ to draw any bitmap, though the drawing functions are limited compared to -say- Illustrator or Photoshop.

You'd start by first declaring the bitmap, then creating a Graphics object associated with it, next drawing all your shapes and finally disposing the graphics (to make sure all draw calls really end up on the bitmap, rather than in the cache).

I attached a file with a C# component which creates a new icon for itself based on the inputs.
