The following program simply sets the icon of a form called form1. When I
get the name of the embedded icon using GetManifestResourceNames(), I store
the name in a string variable called s. The value of s is "test2.icon1.ico".
This program will compile and run just fine from visual studio .net 2003
using .net 1.1 and also will compile and run just fine using csc form1.cs
/resource:icon1.ico.
Now, I created a new string called s2 and just simply stored the value
"test2.icon1.ico" in it. When I use s2 instead of s as a parameter to
GetManifestResourceSteam, the program will compile and run just fine in
Visual Studio 2003 but when compiled from the command line using cs form1.cs
/resource:icon1.ico, the GetManifestResourceString() method does not return a
valid string. This is really strange because the s and s2 strings are
identical.
Is this a bug or am I missing something?
Here is the code:
using System;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Collections;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.Data;
using System.Reflection;
using System.IO;
using System.Diagnostics;
namespace test2
{
public class Form1 : System.Windows.Forms.Form
{
private System.ComponentModel.Container components = null;
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
protected override void Dispose( bool disposing )
{
if( disposing )
{
if (components != null)
{
components.Dispose();
}
}
base.Dispose( disposing );
}
private void InitializeComponent()
{
this.Load += new System.EventHandler(this.Form1_Load);
}
static void Main()
{
Application.Run(new Form1());
}
private void Form1_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
Stream imgStream = null;
Assembly a = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly();
string [] resNames = a.GetManifestResourceNames();
foreach(string s in resNames)
{
if(s.EndsWith(".ico"))
{
string s2 = "test2.icon1.ico";
imgStream = a.GetManifestResourceStream(s2);
if( !(null==imgStream) )
{
System.Drawing.Icon ico = new Icon(imgStream);
this.Icon = ico ;
}
}
}
}
}
}
This code is stored in Form1.cs and added to a project called test2. It
also needs an embedded icon file called icon1.ico.
If this program is executed with:
imgStream = a.GetManifestResourceStream(s2);
The program will work from Visual Studio 2003 but not at a command line
using csc to compile.
If this program is executed with:
imgStream = a.GetManifestResourceStream(s);
The program will execute properly from Visual Studio 2003 and at a command
line using csc.
Thanks for the help.
