Embedded resource suggestions?

I have an assembly (AppResources.d ll) which contains a number of embedded
resource files. Most of these are key/value pairs of relevant strings; a few
are images and sounds; some more are XML files. My application will load the
resources into memory as they are needed.

I would like to be able to read and write to these embedded resources.

Is it possible to write to an embedded resource within an assembly? If so,
how? If it's not possible, what other resource-storage strategy would you
recommend so that I am able to read and write to the resources? I'd prefer
not to use individual files for each resource, if that's an option.

Thanks for your time.

Did you take a look at the System.Resource s.ResourceWrite r-Class?

Arne, I did indeed see that class. But I'll quote you a passage from it:
"Writes resources in the system-default format to an output file or an
output stream."

How would I open a writable stream to an embedded resource in an assembly?

Thanks!

What class / method should I be using to get the full path to an embedded resource ? In my case I have an .xml file that my app uses, it is set as embedded resource, and I have a control that needs to load it, but I do not want to hard code the path since that may change for different installs. i.e. GetPathForResourceOfName ( myResourceFileName ) thanks, JIM

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...

In an ASP.NET project I am setting the content type of my .ascx and ..aspx files to Embedded Resource for a separate reason.

I see that the .resources files are embedded with the containing folder information in the namespace, and I think c# projects work this way, too. Is there any way (a vbc command...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
