Embedded resources and the res protocol

Dan
Hi,

How do I embed a picture (gif for instance) in a dll using VB.NET so
that the picture can be used in a html page with the res protocol?

I have tried adding pictures (as Embedded resources) to my class
library and then accessing them from html with
<IMG SRC="res://ResLib.dll/GIF/ResLib.testpic. gif">

The name "ResLib.testpic .gif" comes from
System.Reflecti on.Assembly.Get ExecutingAssemb ly().GetManifes tResourceNames( )

Thanks in advance,
Dan

Hi Dan

AFAIK .NET does not recognise the res protocol. If you have access to Visual
Studio 6, I would use it to create a dll in which you include your gifs. You
can then use the res protocol to include them by number. For example

res://c:\myproject\re source.dll/GIF/202

This doesn't work with managed resources. You will have to add
unmanaged (Win32) resource to your application:

Hi there! I did not know, where this topic fits in, so I put it here. I have a minor problem with embedded resources, which puzzles me quite a lot. I'd be glad if anyone can help me on this: I've added a few files (images) to an assembly as embedded resources. Within the project folder these files are in a subfolder named "images".

I have a question regarding embedded controls in IE. We are looking to replace a small VB ActiveX control with something written in C#. We have written the control and it instantiates correctly in IE using the <object> tag. My question is this. When the browser visits the pages and requests the object from the server, it appears to be making many unnecessary requests for configuration files and resources files as well. I am using the...

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...

Is there any way to add an embedded resource to a project without copying it to the project's directory? I have shared resources and don't want each project using the images, xml files, etc. to need to be updated with the current copy before being built. I also don't want projects being built with the old copy. Thanks! Bill

I have a project where I need to create a windows .exe by compiling code and linking in some resources. This program thats being generated is somewhat unconventional, and I'll explain how. I'm generating a very simple installer app that embeds referenced .dll files inside it, which are extracted and referenced when the installer app is executed. This works great when the installer app is built with Visual Studio .NET, but it does not work...

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...

Hi Folks, I've got an asynchronous pluggable protocol (APP) handler implemented (based on the excellent work here: http://www.codeproject.com/aspnet/AspxProtocol.asp) that works absolutely perfectly from a normal IE window.

I can turn on a fair amount of logging and when I access the URL from a normal IE window I see all the logs I would...

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,...
