Question

It is actually useful for me to store some files in EXE to copy to selected location. I\'m generating HTML and JS files and need to copy some CSS, JS and GIFs.

Answer 1

I assume you added the files through the Project Properties window. That does not allow you to add an arbitrary file but it does support TextFiles, Bitmaps and so on.

For an embedded TextFile, use

  File.WriteAllText(@"C:\MyFile.bin", Properties.Resources.TextFile1);

For an Image, use

  Properties.Resources.Image1.Save(@"C:\MyFile.bin");
