how to get thumbnail of drawing

I am doing some windows shell programming with .net and would like to be able to get the thumbnail bmp from a dwg file.
I saw some previous posts that used an arx to do this, but that is getting too 3rd party for me.
I am wondering if you can get the thumbnail without acad being installed.
thx

That code has some problems....

Unfortunately, I didn't fix them on my own dime, or
I would've posted the revised code here.

It's been a while and I don't have exact details,
but as best I can recall, there was a flaw in the
logic that caused it to progressively consume and
not release system resources.
