How do access an embedded resource?


I created an embedded resource by adding a Swatches.xml file to my Solution and then making it an embedded resource in
the VS IDE.

When I try to open a stream to the resource using GetManifestReso urceStream("Swa tches.xml") it fails.

Do I need to prefix the resource with a namespace or something?
Thanks,

Steve

Yes, using . as a path separator. So if you have it in a directory
called Foo\Bar in a project with a default namespace of Widget, you'd
use

"Widget.Foo.Bar .Swatches.xml"

If you're not sure about something, look at the assembly with Reflector
- or GetManifestReso urceNames.

Thank you. I had been picking up the namespace instead of the assembly name.

Yes, using . as a path separator. So if you have it in a directory

"Widget.Foo.Ba r.Swatches.xml"

I have an irritating problem with VS.NET2003, C#. I wrote some code that would build my application menu from an XML resource file. Purely to make it easy for me to edit, so I've added this file as an embedded resource. My irritation, is that when I update the resource file and nothing else. VS does not build the project with the newly edited resource file. So if I run the application again, it actually hasn't been updated to use my newly...

I have an assembly (AppResources.dll) 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...

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. When I do this they get embedded as "RootNamespace.Filename" but I would like them to be embedded as "RootNamespace.Folder.Filename". 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,...
