Right now, this code needs a File path. I want it to use My.Resources.DLL, but since pszLibFileRemote is Dimmed as string, it wont work. How do I get it to work?
It highlights the text in bold and gives me Error1Value of type '1-dimensional array of Byte' cannot be converted to 'String'.

I placed some images in my Resources directory, how can i load this using a picturebox? PictureBox1.BackgroundImage =?
View 1 RepliesI've been trying codes like:
My.Computer.FileSystem.CopyFile(My.Resources.File, "C:\b.jpeg")

I'm getting a collection of processes, adding them to a ListView, and deleting them from it when needed. All of this is done in a timer. The problem, is that after a while, the app freezes. I think this is because I'm not disposing any variables.
Here's my
VB.NET
Private _processes As New List(Of String)()
Dim killedProcs As New List(Of String)(_processes)
Dim processes As Process() = System.Diagnostics.Process.GetProcesses()
For Each proc As Process In processes

I tried disposing of my process list, but the IDE wouldn't let me. That's the only thing I thought would need disposing since it is what hold all of the processes.
If I have a Win32 Form project that requires to load a text file and also other picture files that is resides in the bin folder, is there anyway that I can deploy into a single standalone EXE file to user so that user won't see the extra files.
View 4 RepliesI have a file (only 280kb) added to My.Resources I want to copy this from My.Resources to, lets say, Application.StartupPath When i try:

I have a program made in VB that on a button click extracts a exe file from its resources to the HDD then runs the program and deletes it after it closes. I first used the desktop to extract the file to, but seeing as I need to use this program on several computers the account names will be different so this is of no use. I've tried using C: but access is denied.
View 2 RepliesI previously wrote a thread asking how to change a picture according to button movement in which i loaded the pictures from my C: drive. Well i have added the image files into my resources in my project and i was wondering if i could get more incite on loading the picture from the resuorces rather then the C: drive.

View 3 RepliesI am not sure of the proper, or best, way to use Settings and Resources. For now I use the default project wide My.Settings and My.Resources. I have a class that I would like to reuse in other projects, so adding project wide settings or resources in each project doesn't sound proper, nor does creating constants and variables within the class itself.I'm guessing there is a way to give a class its own resource file, and maybe even settings file, but I'm not sure how to do it. I tried adding a resource file with the same name (but with .resx extension) and I got a weird error saying I was trying to edit a resource that is apart of another project. I continued, but it didn't seem to be what I wanted and I wasn't sure how to access that new resource.
View 3 RepliesOk, here's my problem. I already understand referencing a image using My.Resources.(Image name), But this won't work for my current situation, because the image name is in a string so I can't Hard-Code it into the program. IE. The file name is found by doing the statement:Filename = "_" + poke + "_"
Where poke is as string that contains the name of the file. The normal way to call this would be to use My.Resources._(contents of poke)_ but that doesn't work since i can't just inject the contents of poke into the line without making the entire thing a string, and by making it a string that command doesn't work normally.
I just can't seem to find a guide anywhere that talks about this, and I've been stuck on this for quite some time now. I've been able to reference XML's that are included the same way as the images using My.Resources.Resourcemanager.Geobject but this doesn't seem to work for the Images, and I haven't found any other way.
I have the 'resources' folder in my project and it contains a text file called dictionary.txt, which i refer to in my code as My.Resources.dictionary.Split(New String() {Environment.NewLine}, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries)This works perfectly.
I then added a second text file called definition.txt, but when i refer to My.Resources.definition.Split(New String() {Environment.NewLine}, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries)This gives me an error 'Definition is not a a member of 'Resources'
im trying to write a .reg file out that is written into the exe's my.resources dynamically at compile time from a diffrent app... but the .reg file gets messed up and alot of extra txt gets added ...

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to copy a file from my.resources to a user directory thus:-

I've also tried:-

Neither work.
I was wondering if you should dispose undisposed resources before closing your application. Maybe it's not necessary to do this because closing your application automatically takes care of this.
View 2 RepliesRecently 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 4 RepliesDeveloping a multilingual application in VB.Net 2008, Im able to add resources to forms and create a multilingual forms depending on uiculture. On reading Msdn on creating the multilingual string values for messagebox contents, have added the .resource file to the project files path as specified. There is no error on compilation but throws the MissingManifestResourceException error
Dim rm As ResourceManager
rm = ResourceManager.CreateFileBasedResourceManager("strFormResources", ".", Nothing)
[code].....
There is strFormResources.resources and strFormResources.fr-FR.resources in Resources of the project. I have searched for this error details but could not find a solution. What am i doing wrong or is there any other method for displaying multilingual strings in the messagebox.
I'm trying to save a setting that keeps what background image I'm currently using.If it's an external file, there is no problem, i can just get the .location and set it in a String setting to store it.
But, if I want to store an image resource as a setting, how do i do it?I know i can store rawdata, like bitmap information, but then i can't set that type of data to the my.background.
I don't know if the question should be: "how do i reference resources", but the my.resources.resource.methodsList doesnt contain anything that seems to be of use.
