DLL as embedded resource

Hi,

I have 2 dll files that i add to my project as embedded resource.
However, as i need to work with them i add them as references.

Due to the fact they are as references, they are also delivered with my
main exe (which already include them as embedded resource) as stand
alone files.

How i can do to have them only as embedded resource and not as separated
file when i compile my application ?

thanks a lot,

Al.

Alain,

Why are you embedding them as resources? If you need to add them as
references, then you really need to ship them as separate files.

If you are looking to combine all of your assemblies into one assembly,
then there are special tools to do that for you (mostly commercial). You
can get ILMerge from Microsoft Research, or perform a google search on
"combine assemblies .NET" for more options.

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 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...

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

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,...
