Embedded Resources and ResourceManager

[Dennis]

I have a .resx (xml) file that contains resources. I am trying to follow the
example in MSDN for creating the resource Manager as follows:

Dim myAssembly As System.Reflecti on.Assembly
myAssembly = Me.GetType.Asse mbly

Dim myManager As New _
System.Resource s.ResourceManag er("ResourceNam espace.myResour ces", _
myAssembly

What does Me refer to. I have modules and Classes in my solution. Which
class is Me supposed to refer to. The resources is embedded into my solution
dll so I have no idea which ME I'm supposed to use!

Dennis,

Beside your complain, for what I am not the best person to give you an
answer, some maybe help for your problem.

I saw your solution for the network drives, nice however the wmi classes
(which do not work on W98/Me so therefore can your solution be better) will
give you a probably better result in what you try to do and I made a sample
special for this problem, however not complete for you. You are smart enough
to know how to use it in my opinion.
------------------------------
Imports System.Manageme nt
\\\
Dim searcher As New ManagementObjec tSearcher _
("SELECT * FROM Win32_LogicalDi sk")
Dim ManObjOp As ManagementObjec t
If searcher.Get.Co unt > 1 Then
For Each ManObjOp In searcher.Get
Dim win32 As String = "Win32_LogicalD isk='" &
ManObjOp("Name" ).ToString & "'"
Dim ManObjLogD As New ManagementObjec t(win32)
For Each diskProperty As PropertyData In
ManObjLogD.Prop erties
If Not diskProperty.Va lue Is Nothing Then
Console.WriteLi ne _
("{0} = {1}", diskProperty.Na me, diskProperty.Va lue)
End If
Next
Next
End If
///
(Probably you can use as well instead of LogicalDisk , NetworkConnecti on)

Than for a lot of other parts you can use
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...rpathtopic.asp

In a normal treeview of course,
However that where you are searching for My Neworklocations I have not
fount, so when you find that, than please let me know.

I have as well changed a little bit your code with the scripting maybe it
interest you
(I found it interesting code)

Imports IWshRuntimeLibr ary
\\\By Dennis of Houston (changed a little bit by Cor Ligthert)
Dim o As IWshNetwork2 = _
CType(CreateObj ect("WScript.Ne twork"), IWshNetwork2)
Dim odrives As WshCollection = CType(o.EnumNet workDrives, WshCollection)
Dim Drives(CInt(odr ives.Count / 2) - 1) As String
If odrives.Count > 0 Then
For i As Integer = 0 To odrives.Count - 1 Step 2
Drives(i) = odrives.Item(i + 0).ToString.ToL ower
Next
end if
///

I hope this helps?

Me refers to the instance of the class containing the code that is currently
being executed.

Dennis,

Was the wrong thread. I pasted it as well now in the right one.

Dennis,

Me refers to all referenced objects in this class.

\\\
Public Class Whatever
Private MyString as String
Private MySub
me.MyString = "It would have better named mine or my in my opinion"
End Sut
End Class
////

The problem is that I have a resource file (xml) that is embeded in the
Application. Within the application, I use the resource file to set up a
resourcemanager in a code module (not class). I'm trying to figure out how
to instantiate the resourcemanager from the code module when the resource
file is embedded in the application file.

Dennis,

There is a sample in C# in your program files what makes to edit resx files
program. That it is not in VBNet tells maybe as well something about this.

Just my thought,

Dennis,

Since you can't use Me in anything that is marked as Shared (ie,
everything in a module), you will have to use something like this:

Dim t as Type
t = GetType(YourMod ule)

t now contains the System.Type for your module, and you can use
t.Assembly to get the containing assembly for your module:

Dim myManager as New
System.Resource s.ResourceManag er("ResourceNam espace.myResour ces",
t.Assembly)

Hope that helps you.
Regards,
-Adam.
