I've been trying codes like:
My.Computer.FileSystem.CopyFile(My.Resources.File, "C:\b.jpeg")
I've tried declaring the file
Dim Targetfile as String
Targetfile = My.Resources.File
and i get an error because Resources' can't be converted to string...
Recently I uninstalled and reinstalled Visual Studio 2008. Before that, Visual Studio compress images that I put in the Resources folder. In this folder I put images in PNG format for use in the project. When I was compiling the project, the executable was of a size much smaller than the sum of the bytes of the images as they were compressing in the compilation. The sum of the size of the images gives a 47MB, and the file compiled with the images was around 3.5 MB. But now the images are not compressed. For the resulting executable with the build is about 48 MB ... I'm deducing the problem is because the images were not compressed ...is it so?

View 9 RepliesI would like to put some (image, folder etc ) in resources. However I am not sure how to do this.
I have put the .txt file, .iso image in resources (from my project) but unable to add blank folder.
This folder is referring to "sc1" folder in my codes.
sc.CaptureScreen.Save("sc1/" & imagename & ".jpg", System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Jpeg)
I do not know how to call this item in the codes using my resources (e.g. my.resources.pic.jpeg ?? )
The main reason I would like to do this is because when I publish the project, Upon clicking setup installation everything will be embedded together in respective folder instead of I add it manually.
I am making a program in vb.net (Vb 2008) but I want to call a dll or add a dll as reference but there's a prob. I don't want to put DLL in same folder of binary like if exe in d:/ so dll will also be in d:/. I want to call it like environ("temp") or from any other which give constant value not in string like ("c:/windows/system32/user32.dll") etc.. Or directory from resources without dropping it out.

How does the exe app know where to look for its Resources folder? In the development folders of my app it is in one place relative to the GetCurrentDirectory, but in a different set of run-time folders, the relative path is different.
Is there a My.Resources property (or some other property) which knows where this folder is? System.IO.Directory.GetCurrentDirectory tells the app where it is, is there a 'System.IO.Directory.GetResourcesDirectory' (except of course I know there isn't)?
I want the user to be able to copy image files from wherever into the Resources folder without the user having to look for it (the Resources folder) themselves. I can do the OpenFileDialog1 bit myself, I just need to know where to place the chosen file.
With Visual Studio - 2008. I publish to my server. I have problem with the ClickOne, I cant find a way to include my DB connection and resources folder included in my project. It update correctly, but it does not include my resource folder a database connection. Maybe something with the rights to connect to the DB. Can can also see that every time I update my application, it make a new folder but it do not input my folders.
Any right way to do this:
Dim con As New OleDbConnection("Provider=Microsoft.jet.oledb.4.0;data source=" & "Resources/" & "myDB.mdb")
This is my string to connect. And I have added "myDB.mdb" it to my resource folder in the project. I have followed this video: [URL]. What is the correct way to implement a DB connection to my project when I am using ClickOnes?
