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?

I have ashort (1.3MB) video clip set up with the Build Actiontent, and Copy to Output Directory as Copy Always.I am displaying the clip using mciSendString calls, which is working fine.However, I have been asked to change the delivery method so that the video file needs the Build Action to be set to EmbeddedResource and Copy to Output Directory as Do Not Copy , so I need to find a way to write the file to disc on demand so I can play it, then delete it when the form closes.

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 ?

I have a program that must copy a file to 3 locations, the local hard disk, a USB drive, and a network location. I have the file (about 70mb) loaded into a byte array. My quesion is, since I'm not actively modifying the byte array, can I impliment a form of multithreading where all 3 threads read the same byte array at the same time?

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'.

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.

Both are of type System.Drawing.Icon (*.ico file).I tried searching all over Google, and found no threads that helped me out.Either I need to figure out: How to convert a System.Drawing.Icon to a 1-dimensional array of Byte()How to use a System.IO.Stream to save the icon using My.Resources.<resourcename>.Save(outputStream as System.IO.Stream)Any other method that may work

I am using a number of localised form resource files in order to store translation strings. In addition to the standard component captions and text values, I am storing localised messagebox strings for things like autosave notifications.However, when opening the form again, the additional messagebox strings have been removed from all the form resource files.Is it not possible to store additional strings in these files? Or is there a workaround?

I'm sort of new to the vb 2008, and I would like to be able to send a file to another computer and save it on the local drive. Doesn't have to be in any certain folder, but just on the c drive. I know for the old visual basic you would use winsock for this, but in 2008, they have removed it. What and how will I do this. There will be no program on the user's computer. This is done all from one computer sending to another with no program listening on it. This computer is on my network with network sharing, so I can just do like a \computernameorIPaddress and open send the file that way.

I'm trying to output a resource file to a physical file on my hard drive. Here is what I have so far from researching but I think I'm doing it wrong.
Dim ms As New System.IO.MemoryStream(My.Resources.File1) Here is how I would do it in VB6, but I'm trying to catch up with the times and move on to the new stuff.
Dim c() As Byte
Open Sysdir & "mswinsck.ocx" For Binary Access Write As #3
c = LoadResData(103, "Custom")

I want to copy a file from a UNC path (ex: \comnamedirnamefilename.txt) to a local destination (c:outputdir)
I have no compile errors, but when I run it, it throws an exception (System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException). I'm absolutely sure the destination existst (it's referencing the destination directory). I've tried doing it with system.io.file.copy(source,dest)and my.computer.filesystem.copyfile(source,dest). Same result either way.
