Running Another File From My.Resource
May 11, 2009
My USB stick is over crowding and I can't make enough folders to organize it.
So I want to make an application that would store all those folders, files, applications, songs, etc.
So What Im thinking of is this but not sure how to do it I can add the files to My.Resources but I don't know how to run it like .exe files or some other files
So Im going to make a TabControl and have like 5 or 10 Tabs On each Tab like lets say Programs, I will put labels of the program name. I click it and that program will run ( the program will be inside the main application)

I was wondering if its possible to have a txt file in your resource's on your program that contains a class..[code]Can i somehow call and run this class from my main form? But it would still just be in a text file in my.resources.I was thinking maybe i would have to have it read the file then use CodeDOM and run that..

I have a resource file that I include in my shared code library that has all of my re-usable classes in it (all the resources go into their own namespace). Now, what is the best practice regarding resources... should I include them in the same DLL, or should I have a seperate resource DLL and/or are there any benefits from seperating them out into their own file.

I'm trying to output a resource file to a physical file on my hard drive. Here is what I have so far from researching but I think I'm doing it wrong.
Dim ms As New System.IO.MemoryStream(My.Resources.File1) Here is how I would do it in VB6, but I'm trying to catch up with the times and move on to the new stuff.
Dim c() As Byte
Open Sysdir & "mswinsck.ocx" For Binary Access Write As #3
c = LoadResData(103, "Custom")

I am trying to write a Windows Script that will allow me to monitor the following: That 2 x seperate but specific processes within Component Services "Running Processes" list are currently running and have not reset within the past hour. If I already know the PID, then I can retrieve the CreationDate (I assume which I can use to check for restarts? or is this the actual process creation/installation date) for each specific process, however if a restart occurs the PID will change and my script needs to know what the new PID is without me telling it!

I 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.

Right 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.

I 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.

I am developing a VB.NET 2008 application, consisting of a main EXE application and several resource DLLs.
I need two functions for the DLL:
1) one function to get a list of all files in the resources of the DLL.
2) one function to return 'by name' a resource file as a System.IO.Stream type.[code]...

I'm having issues accessing the resource file for my project.
Dim rm As Resources.ResourceManager = New Resources.ResourceManager("MyProjectName.My.Resources.Resources", [Assembly].GetExecutingAssembly())
Dim myValue = rm.GetString(lookUpKey) 'boom Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
I think the issue is with the string "MyProjectName.My.Resources.Resources".Would I be better off moving the strings into their own resource file?

I 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.
