I know that topic is old but i'll write it for future persons that will want to use it.

i base on code by userSteve.

i would suggest to change this.

into this

String thisExe = System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().EntryPoint.DeclaringType.Namespace;

that way it would work even if namespace is different than assembly name

also if you want to use DLL from directory you can use it like that (directory Resources as Example)

String resourceName = thisExe + ".Resources." + embeddedAssembly.Name + ".dll";

if you still can't find where place this code in C# Form application paste it inside file "Program.cs" above line:

Application.Run(new Form_1());

and below lines:

Application.EnableVisualStyles();
Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false);
