I'm currently developing a compact program, but i need to use some .dll as references. Thats ok! But the problem is, i need the .dll reference together in the same directory as the program which i dont want to, since i need it to be compact, just on .exe.
Is there any way to load the .dll reference via the Resources or another way?
I have a dll which I call for compression. What I would like to do is reference this at runtime from my embedded resources instead of having the file somewhere on disk.
View 1 RepliesLets assume that I code a DLL in .Net and I've added some items to the project (For example a picture, or an XML file that contains some kind of configuration for the DLL), and I set the "Copy to output directory" to be "Copy Always".
Now, what I wanted is that if I give my compiled DLL with the bunch of files that were added as items to it, then if someone ads a reference to the DLL in his project then on compile it will copy all files and not just the DLL.
Is it even possible (Some kind of configuration on Visual Studio maybe)?
I have a class bMainframe that manages the connections to 4 different mainframes. It allows for the same underlying unmanaged library to be opened in specific ways and more than one mainframe to be connected to at a time. Each library has its own disposal code for the unmanaged mainframe connection resource. The wrapper also has code that calls the individual mainframe connection's disposal code.
This causes an error if someone's project does not make use of all 4 mainframes, but calls the disposal on the wrapper. (FileLoadException could not load assembly X of the 4 managed mainframes) Since that disposal code checks to see which of the 4 are not nothing/null. Even if nothing/null this is causing .net to try to load the assembly and crash.
Is the disposal code in the outer wrapper helpful or necessary? is there a way to check if the assembly for a type is even loaded that doesn't trigger.net to load the type/assembly?I modified the code below to block the fileloadexception, but I don't believe this is the best way.

View 15 RepliesI'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.
