View 1 RepliesThe code below works so i know the resource is registering correctly ...
vb.net
My.Computer.Audio.Play(My.Resources.alrt2xuk, AudioPlayMode.Background)
But what im trying to do is make a function where I can play the audio file in the programs resources with a string variable being passed to it representing the resource objects filename.
this is so users can type in a audio files name and pull it from the program's resources dynamically VS a big case i would keep having to expand ...
heres my code

but that isnt working for some reason ... keeps throwing "objects reference not set to instant of an object" on the "Return ..." line

Im trying to open media player (full screen) and play a movie. When i create the file path like so: Dim MoviePathVTS As String = String.Concat("""" + tempMoviePath, " \VIDEO_TS\VTS_01_1.VOB" + """")
It wont play the file but if i do it like this: Dim video1 = """F:\Movies\DvD\Angels and Deamons\VIDEO_TS\VTS_01_1.VOB"""
It plays fine? the file paths are the same including the extra "" but it just refuses to play. I need the top one because i have many movies in a treeview.
Heres my code
Private Sub watchNow_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
'get the position of the selected node
Dim i = movieTreeView.SelectedNode.Index

How can you make a play button play/stop toggle? Currently my button plays a file in WMP but when I click it again, it just restarts the file. I would like it to toggle on and off, play and stop, not play and pause.
View 8 RepliesI 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.

I don't completely understand the embedded resource. Here's what I'm trying to do.I've added a PDF to the application Resources using "Add Resource." It appears to add the resource as a BYTE (I'm assuming some type of binary file). I want to simply display this PDF in a PDF component I've added to the application.
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
AxAcroPDF1.src = My.Resources.aamaspoker End Sub This is not working because .src is expecting a "string" but the resource PDF is a BYTE. So what obvious thing am I missing here about using PDFs as resources?

View 3 RepliesI 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 am currently trying to find a way to play an audio stream from the internet so I thought that someone here might be able to help me. The stream I want to play is specified in a .m3u file and it is not a live stream, it is pre-recorded. This component is for a WPF Browser Application I'm developing.I thought of using the ActiveX MediaPlayer from WMP.dll but it's lack of intuitiveness confounded me. I would really dislike having to download the whole audio track before playing it since the file may be really large and take a long time to complete. Playing the file in Windows Media Player as an outside player is also out of the question.
View 14 RepliesI 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.
NOTE: The files will not be "Embedded Resource" (this doubles the size of the DLL), so I think cannot use 'GetManifestResourceStream'.

I am developing a VB.NET 2008 application, consisting of a main EXE application and several resource DLLs.I am trouble with 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.
NOTE: The files will not be "Embedded Resource" (this doubles the size of the DLL), so I think cannot use 'GetManifestResourceStream'.
I currently use:
Return New System.IO.MemoryStream(My.Resources.MyFileName)
but I want it to be called by name.I am adding the resources using the VS 2008 "Resources" tab, from the My Project screen, I'm not manually editing Resources.resxAs I said before, it works with:
Return New System.IO.MemoryStream(My.Resources.MyFileName)
but I need to get the resources by name, which also works by using
GetMAnifestResourceStream
but this requires to set the resources Build Action to "Embedded Resource", which doubles the size of my DLL file.I currently use "None" as Build Action, but I can use any Build Action that does not increase the file size more than the actual resources size.
I'm trying to write an application that requires information to be saved once the application has been exited. In order to do this I have been experimenting with storing the data in text files. More specifically I've been looking into adding text files as application resources. I am using VB Express 2008 and added the text file resource through the application tab>>Resources>>Add Resource>>Add new text file. I am able to use my.resources.TextFile1 to read the text file but I am unable to write anything to it. I have tried using my.resources.TextFile1.replace and .insert but neither of those are working out. I was thinking there is maybe a read only setting somewhere, but I have not been able to find any information on this issue.
