How do Embed a file as a resource?

[M]

Hi Folks,

Does anyone know how to embed a file into a resource in C#? You
seem to be able to embed Icon, Bitmap, Cursor's & Strings. But how do you
embed a file???

In VC++ version 6 you would, Find the Resource, Load It, get its size, and
then write it out to where ever you want it.

Any help would be most appreciated.

Cheers,

Martin

Hi M,

Select file in Solution Explorer, go to Properties and set Build Action to
Embedded Resource.

Hi Miha Markic,

Embedded Resource.
AND ????????

How do I Serialize it out?????

The Icon Bitmap & Cursor Classes ALL have special constructors ie
Class(GetType(),"FileName");

If the file was for instance an MS-Access Database file, how do you copy it
to the required location????

Check out Assembly.GetManifestResourceStream method.
