View 9 RepliesFinding Resource ID Or Index Of A String/icon Resource?
Mar 4, 2010I need to refer to some strings using an "indirect string" in the registry. It should be in this form:
@filename,resource
MSDN: "If the resource value is zero or greater, the number becomes the index of the string in the binary file. If the number is negative, it becomes a resource ID."How can I find out either of these numbers for my resources that only have names in VB? I also need the ID/index for the exe's icon.

Using A .txt File Resource?
Apr 18, 2010Right now i have a line of code, in vb, that calls a text file, like this:
Dim fileReader As String
fileReader = My.Computer.FileSystem.ReadAllText("data5.txt")
data5.txt is a resource in my application, however the application doesn't run because it can't find data5.txt. I'm pretty sure there is another code for finding a .txt file in the resource that i'm overlooking, but i can't seem to figure it out.

View 2 RepliesCopying A Resource File?
Sep 13, 2010I have added two images as a resource in my project. I'd need to copy these images to a certain folder when the program is started. I'm not familiar about using resources, so far I have managed to set a picturebox to show one of these images like this:
Dim res() As String = GetType(Form1).Assembly.GetManifestResourceNames()
pBoxTest.Image = New System.Drawing.Bitmap( _
GetType(Form1).Assembly.GetManifestResourceStream(res(0)))
But I don't know how to get the url of that image so that I could copy it from it's url to another place.If I now try to find out the location of that picturebox's image I get an empty string: MsgBox(pBoxTest.ImageLocation)This should work in any computer where the program is run so of course I can not just hardcode the path of this resource.

Linking A Resource File?
Oct 7, 2008I have several resource files I would like to be able to access in my Visual Basic program by using code. I have added them in folders in the projects folder, and have also chose the "Include in project" option for them all. However, I am a bit confused when it comes to the correct format for linking them with the code. I didn't think using a full path (starting from the C: drive), then linking to my main project folder, would be a good idea since when the end user installs it, the path would be invalid. I tried to type the path like this: "ResourceVideoABCImage000.jpg" however, I receive an Invalid Parameter error. The only way to make it work is to enter the entire path name.

Feb 23, 2012I have added a resource file in App_GlobalResources called FileList.resx. Now I access the contents within the code by using My.Resources.FileList.astro1 etc. It works fine if I set the Build Action of resource file to Embedded. However in this case the resource file is not available after compile and I can't change it later. If I set the Build Action to Content I get an error : Could not find any resources appropriate for the specified culture or the neutral culture. Make sure "WAP.FileList .resources" was correctly embedded or linked into assembly "WAP" at compile time, or that all the satellite assemblies required are loadable and fully signed.
