Project Items - What's the purpose?

Can anyone tell me what the purpose is to adding items such as a
VBScript file or HTML document to your VB.NET project? Once you have
these things added, how to you access them and use them in your code?

What exactly do you want to do with the files?

copyco,
Can anyone tell me what the purpose is to adding items such as a
VBScript file or HTML document to your VB.NET project? These files are commonly used in ASP.NET (web projects).

I will use an HTML document in Windows Forms projects to contain
documentation and/or readme files.

Having them in a Windows Forms project is also useful if your Windows Forms
project relies on the Web Browser control for its primary interface...

I'm sure there are other uses for them (read as "think out side the box").
Once you have
these things added, how to you access them and use them in your code? Really depends on why you added them. (web project, documentation, Web
Browser UI, other).

Hope this helps

Hi Copyco,

As an addition to Herfried,

You can add everything to a Vb.net project.
movies, pictures, html.documents, xmldatasets.

If you are not intended to use them you can better not do that, it uses only
space.

Just my thought.

Well, I was thinking I might be able to dynamically edit the html
document and then export it. Or with the VBScript, pass some parameters
to it from my WinForm code and execute it. Is this possible? Or does
the VBScript have to be external to the project?

You can add it to the project, but in the output it must still remain a
separate file (not embedded into the application's binary).

This is not new to VS2003. We added .doc files to VB6 project to ensure
that all information about a project was kept as one entity. Using this
allowed these documents to be under source control (better than relying on
people to do it themselves). A get latest version of the project would get
all info. This is the same for any type of file.

Think of it as simply a method to organize the data needed to create an
application. Even if the file is not compiled (as a .doc or .bmp/jpg would
be), those files travel with the project/solution.

copyco,
Well, I was thinking I might be able to dynamically edit the html
document and then export it. Explain "export it", HTML added to a project is going to be "external" to
the binary, which means you will need to add it to your setup project to
have it deployed. Alternatively you can set the "Build Action" to "Embedded
Resource" to have the HTML file embedded into your executable, which means
you may then need to "export it" to a file, to actually use it. The Build
Action is available from the properties window when you select the file in
Solution Explorer. You can use a ResourceManager and/or ResourceReader to
get at the embedded file in your executable.
Or with the VBScript, pass some parameters
to it from my WinForm code and execute it. Is this possible? You could use either the COM Script control, or Process.Start to exectu
Or does
the VBScript have to be external to the project? You could have the VBScript embedded in the executable like you can an HTML
file.

Hope this helps

Hi Copyco,

I think that I start to understand what is the basis of your question

With the VS.studio IDE you can make perfect classic HTML websites.

Therefore you need things as javascript, css, vbscript and of course HTML
files.

Ok let's say I have a VBScript file embeded in my executable. How would
I write the code that would execute the script?
