Open Instructional .txt File From Resources?
Apr 14, 2009
i am trying to "read" the text file.i have a .txt file named readme.txt in my resources and it is an embedded resource under build action. the file is a basic user instruction for the program.i have a menu item "RoT Instructions" that i want to open the text file in notepad so the user can read about how to use the program.
Code:
Private Sub RoTHelpToolStripMenuItem_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles RoTHelpToolStripMenuItem.Click
Shell("notepad.exe" & My.Resources.readme, vbNormalFocus)
End Sub
when i start the debugger to test the code i get a "file not found" error.

I already have this code from another question on this website.
Help.ShowHelp(ParentForm,
("C:UsersBeaudeanDesktopHelp.chm"),HelpNavigator.TableOfContents, Nothing)
That works fine except i need the location of the chm help file to point to "my.resources" where it exists because i need to install my program but in that code example it only works with strings?

How do I open this .REG file in Visual Basic 2010?
I'm trying to make a program that will launch this registry file that I've put already in the Resources folder of the program.
BTW if you're curious it's not a harmful program I'm making.
So all I've done so far is put the file in the resources folder of the program, but I don't know how to actually launch it.

The reason I ask is that I want to print, at run-time, a file in the application's resources, like this:
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim printProcess As New Process
printProcess.StartInfo.FileName = "C:UsersGeoffrey van WykDocumentsCountdown_Timer_Help.rtf"
' printProcess.StartInfo.FileName = My.Resources.Countdown_Timer_Help
printProcess.StartInfo.Verb = "Print"
printProcess.Start()
End Sub

When I use "C:UsersGeoffrey van WykDocumentsCountdown_Timer_Help.rtf" as the argument of FileName, it works. But when I use My.Resources.Countdown_Timer_Help, it says it cannot find the file.

For the last two days or so, I've been trying to get a program to compile another program that will extract a series of files and run them in a given order, like a self extracting zip archive.The program compiles fine and compiles sub programs, but I am unable to go about correctly embedding the resources.The output program shows the large amount of data ( ~12mb from the file I've been embedding to test ), and there are no compile errors.However, I cannot get it to access the resources correctly. It will either result in a compile error about the resource image not being valid / containing any resources, or a friendly "System.Resources.MissingManifestResourceException" being thrown.

I need to some how integrate 2 .exe files, and 1 batch file into my project. I don't like them sitting out in the open, and this will look neater. What I mean is, when I run a command like, "Shell("cmd.exe /C Ping " & TextBox1.Lines(26))", and I have a .exe named ping in the program directory, it will open that console executable, and then to ping etc. I want to somehow pack the .exe and batch with the program.

You know when you insert an image into BASIC it makes a new folder called "Resources" and puts the picture in it? Well, I want a file in it so I can access it. PictureBox3.ImageLocation = "C:UsersKenneth RheeDesktopCIBProfiles" + TextBox3.Text + "" + TextBox4.Text + "" + TextBox6.Text + "" + TextBox3.Text + "" + TextBox4.Text + "" + TextBox6.Text + ".jpg"
So basically I want to know the file path of the "resources" folder so even if another person downloads it, they can access the files. I think the file path is something like WindowsApplication1.My.Resources.Resources.icon_cadsoft_eagle because that's what the ImageLocation said in a PictureBox.

Why would a .sln solution file open and appear empty in Microsoft Visual Basic 2010 Express - i.e. no windows showing projects and code files etc.When I inspect the file in a text editor, it contains references to vbproj files (which are present) which indicate that it should not appear as empty.No error messages are reported when the file is opened.
