View 2 RepliesI am using DotNetZip for use of extracting a .ZIP from the resources. When I run the standalone .EXE, errors appear about a missing DLL, so I added it into the resources via the properties panel, but I still get the same error. How do I use the embedded .DLL?
Another question, might be the wrong place to ask it but I am having problems extracting 'Conroy.zip' from my resources using DotNetZip. If anyone could show me the code or give advice,
I have seen this done in C#, such as here although, I cannot seem to figure out how to do this in VB.NET. For some background, I have created a custom ComboBox control as a .dll, and I need to implement it in another .dll(ArcMap Component)
View 1 RepliesMy application needs to extract an embedded file (OLE object) from an excel 2003 document to a file on disk. This file can be any type, not only an Office document. Searching in the web it seems to be possible by copying OLE object to Clipboard and later copying (binary) it to a file (¿perhaps using MemoryStream and FileStream?), but I see no working code about this.

I set the properties to embedded resource.Now when I type my.resources. ...in the list the name of that file does not come but other image files comes.I want to extract the zip file to a folder at runtime. I have done that before if I add zip file to my solution. But if the zip file is added into my resources folder (right click in resources, add, existing item) then how to get it from there.

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.

View 10 RepliesIf I have say a wav file as a resource in a form, is there a way that I can extract it when the program is run and set it as say... the windows logon sound? Or perhaps an image and set it as the wallpaper? Or does it have to be an external file that the form would have to handle?
View 3 RepliesIn 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 ?
View 10 RepliesI embedded a file as a resource into my assembly, and use the following:
Dim NameSpc As String = Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetName().Name.ToString()

Dim address As System.IO.Stream = _
Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetManifestResourceStream(FileName)

But my address is ALWAYS 'nothing'.

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.
