Hi, I'm writing a WinForms app in C# which requires a 3rd party executable called htmldoc.exe in order to create PDF documents from HTML files. To prevent the app from not functioning if the user accidentally deletes this file, I'm investigating the possibility of making it an Embedded Resource. When the app starts up, it will search for the executable and "extract" it if it's missing. I found the following code on the Net: using...

Hello, I have a content text file in my project and I'd like to copy it to a folder at some point in the execution of the application(not during a build). If this is not possible, how about reading a content text file into a string. This will do the job just as well, maybe better. Thanks in advance. Vince

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
