Cannot Make Xml File An Embedded Resource

Sep 29, 2011

In Visual Studio 2008 I tried to add xml file as embedded resource. During compilation the embedded resource item was simply ignored and the resource I expected to find in resulting dll was not there. I tried several times with no positive effect. Finally I decided to rename the file, so it does not have xml extension. As soon as I changed the extension to (it was .en in this case) Visual Studio started picking the file up and embedding it as part of the assembly. I could not find any any documentation on that odd behavior. Does anyone know if that is expected, and, if so, why ?

Wpf - .NET Make A Copy Of An Embedded File Resource To The Local Drive

Apr 8, 2010

I'm creating a WPF application in VB.NET with the 3.5 Framework. (If you provide an example in C#, that's perfectly fine.)

In my project I have a Template for an MS Access database. My desired behavior is that when the users clicks File-->New, they can create a new copy of this template, give it a filename, and save it to their local directory.

The database already has the tables and some starting data needed to interface with my application (a user-friendly data editor)

I'm thinking the approach is to include this "template.accdb" file as a resource in the project, and write it to a file somehow at runtime?

Embedded A File As A Resource Into An Assembly?

Dec 29, 2009

I embedded a file as a resource into my assembly, and use the following:

Dim NameSpc As String = Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetName().Name.ToString()
Dim FileName As String = NameSpc + "." + Form1.LanguageSelection.Text + ".txt"
Dim address As System.IO.Stream = _
Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetManifestResourceStream(FileName)

[code]....

But my address is ALWAYS 'nothing'.

Iterating Through An Embedded Resource File?

Jun 27, 2010

I seem to be having some trouble finding anything to help me iterate through objects in an embedded resource file.What I have got, is a bunch of resource files that each have a library of sound wav files.What I'm trying to do is cycle through them all and add their name to something like a list box.I found a couple of snippets online that do this but for external resources. Here is what they do.

' Create a ResXResourceReader for the file items.resx.
Dim rsxr As ResXResourceReader
rsxr = New ResXResourceReader("Samples\Kicks.resx")

[code]....

1. It still needs a phisical file in the debug folder (I have them in a folder called samples within the debug folder.)

2. It gives me this error.QuoteResX file Could not find a part of the path 'C:\Users\sed10711\Desktop\Sequencer Interface\Sequencer Mock Interface\bin\resources\kicks\kickdrum1.wav'. Line 123, position 5. cannot be parsed.

Embedded Resource Question

Apr 12, 2011

Is there any way to include an entire directory structure as an embedded resource? For example I have a file system folder with files and other folders inside of it. I need my application to recreate that directory structure and all files. If this can't be done, I suppose I could zip the entire directory tree and include the zip file as the embedded resource, but I would need to extract that zip file to the file system without 3rd party tools, and I have to use the .NET 2.0 Framework so I'm not sure unzipping capabilities exist.
