Embedding DLL Resources Into Executable (No More ILmerge)?
Feb 25, 2011
I've used ILMerge in the past when I needed to include the DLL's my assemblies depended on and only have to distribute a single exe file.Jeffrey Richter recently posted some c# code that allows you to embed the DLL's and load them from a byte array as embedded resources.[URL]Here's the code sample he gives(in c#), I'm just not sure how to handle the event in VB.net since among many things the sub main is semi hidden and my lack of the appdomain knowledge
AppDomain.CurrentDomain.AssemblyResolve += (sender, args) => {
String resourceName = "AssemblyLoadingAndReflection." +
new AssemblyName(args.Name).Name + ".dll";
[code]....

I have created a windows forms application with a lof of images and icons. The main .exe file is getting rather large. About 15mb. I assume it is because all of these images and icons. I use a .resx file to hold the images/icons.
Can I seperate the resource file from the main executable? Into a DLL or something?
I use an auto update program and would like to prevent the user downloading the whole 15mb .exe each time.

I have a program that outputs a file. I want the user to be able to just double-click the output file and launch the program, just like Word and Excel. In Word for instance, one doesn't necessarily have to open WORD then click on File--> Open and locate another Word doc. He can just go to the folder and open the Word doc. I want to implement the exact scenario in my program.
So far I have tried creating TextFile and added it to the Resources. On FormLoading, I simply I stream-read the Resouce file, but I can't write to the Resource on FormClosing, since the Resource is ReadOnly. Also, the Resource is built & compiled so I suppose you can't add anything to it at run time.How you lunch an output file without launching the Executable program that created it?

I have an executable that I was able to get working on all XP machines by registering all the .dll's associated with it.On Vista, however, I go through the exact same registration process but right when I open the executable it goes to a "WindowsApplication1 has stopped working" dialog. I registered the DLLs in the SysWOW64 folder. I also ran Dependency Walker which came up with IEFrame.dll as flagged, don't know if that is relevant though.

I Actually want to provide a new service which requires creating executables on the fly from executables generated in vb.net. For example lets say I have a form with a textbox and in that textbox we pass an argument which is for example the serial of the product, then we have a button which once clicked will generate an executable on the fly which has also a textbox requiring that serial to run? That was only an example but the main thing is how to generate that exe on the fly.

I am working on a simple text editor for medieval Latin and I have a custom medieval Latin ttf that does exactly what I want. My question is: How can I embed that font into my text editor so that it can ONLY use that font, and so that when I send my text editor app to others they can start using it right away without having to download any fonts?

I'm providing a link button in my page (which contains a datagrid) so that when the user clicks on it they will be able to see the contents of the datagrid in a separate excel file. I provide the user with the option of attaching documents while they use my application. I would want that particular attachment to be embedded into excel document along with other contents. I don't want to specify the link(location) where the attachment is present.Instead I would need the attached document itself to be embedded into the excel file.

ive seen some programming languages which are java based or use jav which allow you to program applications which can then be embedded or executed within a webpage. so for example you could make a small app which showed an animal which followed the mouse cursor and made a sound when you press mouse button. So is this possible with vb.net? (or is that what asp is for?

im creating a stock management system for a cycle shop and i had a thought about creating an interactive help video e.g.
how to add a customer - featuring the steps shown and how to handle errors. I have seen tutorials for flash player embedding but im unsure as to whether they have it installed on their workstation.
How would i go about streaming a video that is stored in the debug folder of the program onto a live form that includes stop, pause, play and volume buttons?
