I know I can use ResHacker to change a resource from windows and I know I can use ResourceUpdate function to do the same problematically (again in windows). My problem is that I have to update the icon of a windows exe file in linux, without using wine. (the reason for not using wine is that this process should run on an automation server that change the files and sign them). I don't know even where to start from. You can change a files metadata like this: gvfs-set-attribute '/path/to/file' -t stringv metadata::custom-icon "/path/to/image.png" There's a program called windres that should suit

I have iTextSharp creating a pdf for me in VB.net. Everything was working famously, except now I want to embed an image. I tried this: Dim test = My.Resources.MyImage Dim logo = Image.GetInstance(test) This an error though: 'GetInstance' cannot be called with these arguments It appears as though it expects a path, and is getting a System.Drawing.Bitmap type. Is there any way that I can add a project resource image to my PDF? Thanks in advance! One of the overloads for iTextSharp.text.Image.GetInstance() takes an System.Drawing.Image , so convert your PNG resource into this type and then use

I was wondering how i can embed a third party font into my app( and use it ) so i can distribute my app with the font of my choice for users who do not have the font installed on their systems. Is this possible, or do i have to distribute the font if i want the users to be able to use the font in question. Thanks. Stick the actual font file into a User-Defined Resource . Very few fonts will have a license that allows this. Even a free font should be checked. You can use CreateScalableFontResource and AddFontResource to make a font file available to your application. The font must be available

Can I affect the process? I have an application built in .NET 3.5 / VS2008. I have embedded multiple icons into the app with a win32 .res file. This is done in the Properties box for the Project in VS2008 - instead of specifying an .ico file, tick the box to specify a .res file. In the .res file you can have multiple icons. See here for what I mean. Each icon includes a 256x256xRGB (PNG Cmopressed) "Vista grade" image, a 256x256x32bit image, and the usual cascade of 48x48, 32x32, and 16x16 images in various color combos. If I view the resulting exe in Explorer, I see the big beautiful 256x256

I embedded a .ttf font file ("Amatic Bold", specifically) in my resources and I'm using this code below to get the Font. I tried the code fom this post: How do I Embed a font with my C# application? (using Visual Studio 2005) This is my implementation: static public Font GetCustomFont (byte[] fontData, float size, FontStyle style) { if (_fontCollection == null) _fontCollection = new PrivateFontCollection(); IntPtr fontPtr = System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.AllocCoTaskMem(fontData.Length); System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.Copy(fontData, 0, fontPtr, fontData.Length); _fontCollection

I don't understand why I cannot display an image in WPF. Maybe I modified my resources folder accidentally and that is the reason why I does not get displayed. So I created a new wpf application and I have this: and when I run the program my picture gets displayed as: Why is it that when I try doing the same thing in my program the image does not show up!? note how when I run the program there is no image... In my other application I just dragged the image control to my main window and then I browsed for a random image on my computer and when I complied and run it it works fine. Why is it that
