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";

Separate Resources From Main Executable?

May 25, 2011

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.

Deployment :: Can An Executable Program Create An Executable File

May 17, 2012

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?

Executable On Vista - Open The Executable It Goes To A "WindowsApplication1?

Jun 1, 2009

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.

Jul 24, 2011

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.
