ASP.NET Embedded Resources

I have a project where I am required to embed a few images and CSS files in
the assembly (v1.1) and read them out at runtime. I know that this can be
done using an HttpHandler/.axd file (like the one used for FreeTextBox
http://www.freetextbox.com), but I've never tried this before. Does anyone
have any sample code for this? I know they've made this much easier in 2.0.

This is a code that outputs static image from a array.
It's a regular aspx page and called like this <img src="renewSes.a spx">
You should be able easily modify it to output from resource file

public class renewSes : System.Web.UI.P age
{

static byte [] gif =
{0x47,0x49,0x46 ,0x38,0x39,0x61 ,0x01,0x00,0x01 ,0x00,0x91,0x00 ,0x00,0x00,0x00 ,0x00,0x00,0x00 ,0x00,0x00,0x00 ,0x00,0x00,0x00 ,0x00,0x21,0xf9 ,0x04,0x09,0x00 ,0x00,0x00,0x00 ,0x2c,0x00,0x00 ,0x00,0x00,0x01 ,0x00,0x01,0x00 ,0x00,0x08,0x04 ,0x00,0x01,0x04 ,0x04,0x00,0x3b ,0x00};

Response.AddHea der("ContentTyp e", "image/gif");

Response.Cache. SetCacheability (HttpCacheabili ty.NoCache);

Response.Binary Write(gif);

Response.End();

}
}

Yes, but that still doesn't use an HttpHandler to read the image or CSS from
the assembly as an embedded resource. For example, the FreeTextBox
WebControl has all of the images and such embedded into the assembly. Then
when the page is rendered, the webpage references the images like so:

<img
src="FtbWebReso urce.axd?a=Free TextBox%2c+Vers ion%3d3.1.5000. 0%2c+Culture%3d neutral%2c+Publ icKeyToken%3d59 62a4e684a48b87& r=FreeTextBoxCo ntrols.Resource s.Images.Office Mac.superscript .gif&t=63272719 8542727578"
/>

I would like to reference the images and CSS files that I use for themes to
be referenced in the same way.

Hi there! I did not know, where this topic fits in, so I put it here. I have a minor problem with embedded resources, which puzzles me quite a lot. I'd be glad if anyone can help me on this: I've added a few files (images) to an assembly as embedded resources. Within the project folder these files are in a subfolder named "images".

Is there any way to add an embedded resource to a project without copying it to the project's directory? I have shared resources and don't want each project using the images, xml files, etc. to need to be updated with the current copy before being built. I also don't want projects being built with the old copy. Thanks! Bill

I have a project where I need to create a windows .exe by compiling code and linking in some resources. This program thats being generated is somewhat unconventional, and I'll explain how.

I'm having trouble grasping how ASP.NET correctly locates resources. There is plenty of documentation on this subject but some things are not clear at all. In my ASP.NET application, I have multiple web forms. When you compile the application, it creates a DLL. If you view this DLL using ILDASM (the manifest), it shows info about the resources stored in the DLL. There is essentially an embedded resource "section" for each web form. The...
