Guidance on Identifying Resource

[Kent Boogaart]

Hi,

I'm in a situation where I need the user to specify a resource in via XML
configuration. For example, they need to be able to specify an image
embedded in their assembly. I'm just wondering whether there's a standard
format for such strings as there is for types:

<config type="MyNamespace.MyType, MyAssembly"/>

I guess I need something like:

<config resource="MyResourceName, MyNamespace.MyType, MyAssembly"/>

Then I would extract out "MyResourceName" and load the type using
Type.GetType and then use a ResourceManager to load the resource called
"MyResourceName".

Can anyone offer any advice on whether my suggestion above is somewhat
standard, or whether there is a better way to do this?

Thanks,
Kent
