Hi, All. I am creating a setup program. The way it works is that the
user creates their setup info, my program generates the C# code for a
setup executable, embeds the xml file containing the info for the
setup, and compiles the whole thing into one EXE. How do i embed
resources, and access them, into that assembly? 8 13666
Hi,
When you compile the assembly with the C# compiler use a /resource switch
for each resource that you want to embed:
C# Language Reference
/resource (Embed Resource File to Output) (C# Compiler Options) http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/lib...07(VS.80).aspx
You can use the resgen tool to create binary resources from an xml resource
file (.resx) that you can supply to the C# compiler:
..NET Framework Tools
Resource File Generator (Resgen.exe) http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/lib...z1(VS.80).aspx

Thank you for your reply. It is much appreciated. So, how would I do
this programatically , usang an ICodeCompiler or similar class? How
would I use a simple (ie, serialized) XML file?
Thanks again!

Hi,
The following link contains an example:
CompilerParamet ers.EmbeddedRes ources Property http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/lib...resources.aspx
To create the resource file you can write it to a temporary file on disk for
use with the CodeDOM:
..NET Framework Class Library
ResourceWriter Class http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/lib...er(VS.80).aspx
Here's an example that I've derived based on the links above (your
serialized xml can be a byte[] or string here):
string temp = Path.Combine(Pa th.GetTempPath( ),
Path.GetTempFil eName());
try
{
using (FileStream stream = new FileStream(temp ))
// Unfortunately, the EmbeddedResourc es property is a
// StringCollectio n and accepts only file paths, not resource
// streams, so MemoryStream can't be used here
{
using (ResourceWriter writer = new ResourceWriter( stream))
{
// your xml can be byte[] or a string
writer.AddResou rce("name", yourXml);
writer.AddResou rce("name2", yourXml2);
}
}
CompilerParamet ers cp = new CompilerParamet ers();
// provider is an instance of CodeDomProvider
if (provider.Suppo rts(GeneratorSu pport.Resources ))
{
cp.EmbeddedReso urces.Add(temp) ;
}
...
CompilerResults cr =
provider.Compil eAssemblyFromFi le(cp, sourceFile);
...
}
finally
{
File.Delete(tem p);
}
I haven't tested the code myself so beware :)

Hi,
It can be any format that you want. Use the
System.Resource s.ResourceManag er to load the resource later. e.g., Use the
GetStream method for binary or GetString method for a string resource.

Okay! Thanks! That answers my question completely :).
How are you compiling the generated source code? Are you calling csc or
using the CSharpCodeProvi der class? In the former case, you should specify
the /resource: option [2], in the latter, specify embedded resources with
the EmbeddedResouce s [1] property of the CompilerParamet ers instance you are
using when creating the code provider.

I believe I am going with the latter, so the library handling the
dynamic generation can easily be deployed to PCs without direct access
to the csc. Thank You!
