.NET - Embed An EXE File Into Project?

Mar 4, 2010

I know that is strange situation, but I need to embed an EXE file (or the assembly code) into my project, so it can be started only by the application (it can't create the EXE in the filesystem and start it)...

Is it possible? Edit:It's not a .NET EXE. Anyway I added the Test.exe file as a resource to my project and I did this

Dim exestr As Stream = Nothing
Dim a As Assembly = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly
exestr = a.GetManifestResourceStream("Test.exe")

Embed An Access Database Into Project?

Feb 24, 2011

I have a single form in VB with an Access database. The form is used to browse the database and works perfectly, however when I compile it into a a single exe file, the database still has to be separate file in the same directory.

Is there a way I can include or embed the Access database as "part" of the exe file so that I have a single exe instead of having an exe AND a separate database file?

Embed Dll From "class Project" Into My Project In Program?

Apr 5, 2012

I have a standard "class library" project with a set of classes that I use to import in almost all my new projects.

The way I work is creating a new Solution with an empty project, which is my main project, and then I add to the solution the mentioned class library project, this way I can see both projects in the Soluction Explorer and even see the library code or update it if needed. Then I write the code in my main project and I compile.

This lead me to have 2 files when I compile: file *.exe and stdlib.dll

Some cases I use the lib for very small tools that I want to redistribute in a easy and clean why, so I would like to embed the stdlib.dll generated from my class library project into my *.exe file.

Embed Icon For Custom File Type?

What I could not figure out is how to embed another icon for custom file types - I do know what registry entries to add / modify though, I am just not able to add a 2nd icon as resource to my profile and make it 'accessible', so, that the Windows System can display it for files with my custom extension.

IDE :: BC30143 - Unable To Embed Resource File

Jan 27, 2011

I have seen the previous topic in regards to this error/situation, however I was unable to find a solution to this issue as it pertains to my program in VS 2010.Essentially I frequently have this error, up to three times, when I'm working with my program. I've tried removing all of my resource files, reducing the number and completely re-creating my program. It eventually comes to a point when I can't work around these errors.I also frequently get the system.outofmemoryexception and have had VS shut down completely when I attempt certain tasks, it's happened twice in the past hour already. There's been one other, not likely related issue, whenever I attempt to change the startup form via the project>properties window, I am not able to accurately set the correct startup form. What I mean by this is, the only forms on that list are forms that were previously in the program (form2, form4) and now I have specific names for each form, neither being "form2" or "form4". When I attempt to debug, the program runs on a big blank 800x600 grey form.

IDE :: BC30143 - Unable To Embed Resource File?

Jun 24, 2009

I have had this issue for quite a while. In fact since VS2005 it concerns me more because so few other people report it.During a build, from the VB IDE I get the following errorvbc : error BC30143: Unable to embed resource file xthis continues for approximate 38 files. The associated system error is &H8007000e - this system error suggests a memory issue. I do have 4GB RAM in my dev machine. I am running Vista SP2 (although I have had this error since XP)I have tried the /3GB switch and the largeaddressaware 'fix', but this can cause issue with other applications.

If I get the above error in the IDE and then go and do a command line build, there is no problem.Periodically I also get numerous system.outofmemoryexception, this can happen when I try and open a form for editing for example. Other times the 38 entries can appear under a number ocircumstances, such as closing a formas if there is some kind of background compile going on (which I am sure there is).The above problems may not be related, but given the memory link of the 2 errors I think they are.

IDE :: Embed A File Or Many Inside Application So Wherever It Goes So Does Myfile?

Jul 23, 2010

Just adding a file to my application so when it is published the file(s) goes with it is not enough, this application has links in it so when you click the links the file and it corosponding application open. I can link to the file on my computer easily, but this application is going to be distributed via CD or DVD so i need these file to go with them or the links are useless. I would just point the links at the cd drive, however not all PC's have the same drive letter making a default drive link a little complicated( yes im a newbie ). Here is a sample of what im working with, i want to link to 3 file types .docx, .pdf(thanks ADOBE SDK), .ppt and the like. so far the applications are working great so all i need is either how to add all of these files to myapp and link internally or some knowledge on how to write a link to the CDROM drive as oppossed to the D: or E: drive specifically. Here is a snip of a MSWORD link-

VS 2008 - Timer - Project A References Project B So Can Open A Large Form In Project B

May 5, 2010

For reasons that are beyond my control, I have three Projects. Projects A and B reference project C. Project A references project B so that it can open a large form in project B. I now need to open that large form from project C, but VB won't allow me to add a reference from C to B because that would create a circular dependency. I found a way around it, though. I created a Timer in A, and when I opened C from A, I passed in that timer. When the user performs a certain action, I enable the Timer from A, and this causes C to open B for me.
