I need to some how integrate 2 .exe files, and 1 batch file into my project. I don't like them sitting out in the open, and this will look neater. What I mean is, when I run a command like, "Shell("cmd.exe /C Ping " & TextBox1.Lines(26))", and I have a .exe named ping in the program directory, it will open that console executable, and then to ping etc. I want to somehow pack the .exe and batch with the program.

I need to make an array of images using references to the resources folder. The following is my code which does not work:
Dim imgPictures(8) As Image
imgPictures(0) = Image.FromFile(My.Resources.cat_1.ToString)
How do I reference the images sitting in the resources folder for this task?
If I took a COM object (specifically Excel 2003 workbook) and made it an embedded resource of my executable, would that improve the notoriously slow .NET-COM interop at all?
View 1 RepliesThe reason I ask is that I want to print, at run-time, a file in the application's resources, like this:

I want to know if it's possible to move a file from the file system into my applications resources.And if so, how?

View 1 RepliesFor the last two days or so, I've been trying to get a program to compile another program that will extract a series of files and run them in a given order, like a self extracting zip archive.The program compiles fine and compiles sub programs, but I am unable to go about correctly embedding the resources.The output program shows the large amount of data ( ~12mb from the file I've been embedding to test ), and there are no compile errors.However, I cannot get it to access the resources correctly. It will either result in a compile error about the resource image not being valid / containing any resources, or a friendly "System.Resources.MissingManifestResourceException" being thrown.

View 1 RepliesI have found that i can add some resources as images and i could use them using my.resources.now i want to know how can i use the same way to save something to a text file in the resources and then load the saved text.
View 4 RepliesYou know when you insert an image into BASIC it makes a new folder called "Resources" and puts the picture in it? Well, I want a file in it so I can access it. PictureBox3.ImageLocation = "C:UsersKenneth RheeDesktopCIBProfiles" + TextBox3.Text + "" + TextBox4.Text + "" + TextBox6.Text + "" + TextBox3.Text + "" + TextBox4.Text + "" + TextBox6.Text + ".jpg"
So basically I want to know the file path of the "resources" folder so even if another person downloads it, they can access the files. I think the file path is something like WindowsApplication1.My.Resources.Resources.icon_cadsoft_eagle because that's what the ImageLocation said in a PictureBox.
The text file name is "lise" I can read it like this
Dim lines As String = My.Resources.lise
TextBox1.Text = lines
but how do I write to it?
I've created an attribute, similar to the ToolboxBitmapAttribute, that allows you to associate an Icon or Image to a class.
To associate an image, the resource file base name, a type (to find the assembly), and the name of the resource are passed to the attribute constructor. I then use the ResourceManager to get access to the resource:
Dim rm = New ResourceManager(ResourceFileBaseName, passedType.Assembly)
Dim obj = rm.GetObject(resourceName)
This is fine except that I want the option to pass just the resource name in the constructor, and omit the resource file base name. Then I would pick up the resource from the default resource file. When I say default resource file, I mean the one when you start Visual Studio, open the property pages and click the Resources tab.
The problem is, when developing in VB.Net, the base name is 'RootNamespace.Resources', and when developing in C#, the base name is 'Rootnamespace.Properties.Resources'.
Where can I programatically find the name of the default resource file?
Update
What I can do is get a list of all resource names:
t.Module.Assembly.GetManifestResourceNames
I can then look for a name that ends with Resources.resources and use that to build the resource file base name.

View 3 RepliesWithin a Visual Basic Project I have added a resource file (resx) that contains a bunch of images.Now I want to query the names of the images.If I open the resx file in the designer view in the Visual Studio IDE and select an image, the property grid shows me a name property (defaults to "filename without extension but can be changed).The background is that I have a imagelist that is created at runtime and populated with the images from the resource file. To be able to access these images by the key, I have to set it.My code looks like this (everything hard coded):
Dim imagelist as new Imagelist
imageList.Images.Add("A", My.Resources.MyImages.A)
imageList.Images.Add("B", My.Resources.MyImages.B)
[code]....
And I want to achive this:
Dim imagelist as new ImageList
For Each img in GetMeAllImagesWithNameFromMyResourceFile
imageList.Images.Add(img.Name, img.ImageFile)
Next
where Name is a string and ImageFile a System.Drawing.Bitmap
