embedded-resource

I have seen this done in C#, such as here although, I cannot seem to figure out how to do this in VB.NET. For some background, I have created a custom ComboBox control as a .dll, and I need to implement it in another .dll(ArcMap Component). Unfortunately, ArcMap does not allow for "third-party" DLL's to be loaded along with the component, because there is no option to reference any third-party assemblies for your add-in. If someone could point me in the right direction, it would be more than appreciated. We use this technique in VB.NET in Visual Studio 2008... First, the project needs to know

I have an INF file saved as an embedded resource in my C# project. I am trying to save this file to a local location on demand. I am using this method. public static void SaveResourceToDisk(string ResourceName, string FileToExtractTo) { Stream s = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetManifestResourceStream(ResourceName); FileStream resourceFile = new FileStream(FileToExtractTo, FileMode.Create); byte[] b = new byte[s.Length + 1]; s.Read(b, 0, Convert.ToInt32(s.Length)); resourceFile.Write(b, 0, Convert.ToInt32(b.Length - 1)); resourceFile.Flush(); resourceFile.Close(); resourceFile = null; }

I have an embedded resources file eg: file.exe how to copy in directory eg: c:\ ? at click button thanks Jon Skeet You can use Assembly.GetManifestResourceStream to get a stream to read your resource from. Then just copy it to a FileStream . If you're using .NET 4, you could use Stream.CopyTo to make that easy: private void CopyResource(string resourceName, string file) { using (Stream resource = GetType().Assembly .GetManifestResourceStream(resourceName)) { if (resource == null) { throw new ArgumentException("No such resource", "resourceName"); } using (Stream output = File.OpenWrite(file)) {

I want to compile App_GlobalResources/Strings.resx into my assembly (and eventually use satellite assemblies for Strings.es.resx, Strings.fr.resx , etc.) but the following error occurs once the app is published: "Could not load file or assembly 'App_GlobalResources' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified." Steps to Reproduce: Create a new ASP.NET MVC project. Add an App_GlobalResources folder and a Strings.resx file. Set the file's build action to 'Embedded Resource' Add a string to Strings.resx and use it in HomeController.Index() , e.g. ViewData["Message"] =

EDIT: Read answer number 1 from Tim Schmelter and then use this question for examples of how to embed resources and access them at runtime. The subject of embedded resources comes up a lot, especially with people asking how to access the embedded files at runtime. Things get more confusing because Visual Studio gives you 2 different ways of embedding a resource, and different ways of accessing those resources at runtime. The problem is that depending on which method you used to embed the resource, the method you’re trying to use to access the file at runtime might not work. This post is an
