Can not read resource from dynamicaly generated resource dll

[Roman Muntyanu]

Hi all,

I created resource dll dynamicaly using this code

AppDomain curDom = AppDomain.Curre ntDomain;
AssemblyName myAssemblyName = new AssemblyName();
imagesAssemblyN ame.Name = "Images";
AssemblyBuilder myAssemblyBuild er =
curDom.DefineDy namicAssembly(m yAssemblyName,
AssemblyBuilder Access.Save);
ModuleBuilder myModuleBuilder =
myAssemblyBuild er.DefineDynami cModule("Images .dll",
"Images.dll",tr ue);
IResourceWriter rsxw = myModuleBuilder .DefineResource ("Images",
"Descriptio n");
Image image = Image.FromFile( "myImage.gi f");
rsxw.AddResourc e("pic",image );
myAssemblyBuild er .Save("Images.d ll");

Then tried to get that image from another application.
ResourceManager res = new ResourceManager ("Images",
Assembly.LoadFi le(Directory.Ge tCurrentDirecto ry() + "\\" +
"Images.dll "));
Image image = (Bitmap)(res.Ge tObject("pic")) ;

But got exception
"Could not find any resources appropriate for the specified culture
(or the neutral culture) in the given assembly. Make sure
"Images.resourc es" was correctly embedded or linked into assembly
"Images"

In ILDASM can see that i have correct resource name
..mresource public Images
{
}
but still can not get resource

I would greatly appreciated any tips on what is going on in there.

Thank you

Roman

The problem is that the ResourceManager can only read resources which are in
the binary .resources format, and you need to include ".resources " in name
parameter in DefineResource. So you need to change the call like this:
instead of:
IResourceWriter rsxw = myModuleBuilder .DefineResource ("Images","Desc ription");
use:
IResourceWriter rsxw = myModuleBuilder .DefineResource ("Images.resour ces",
"descriptio n");
Hope this solution works for you. Marin
