I'm reading embedded bitmaps from an EXE project and everthing works fine. I
do a GetExecutingAss embly, followed by setting a stream object to
MyAssemblyName. GetManifestReso urceStream("MyA pp.MyBitmap.BMP "). Note that
the BMP is set as an embedded resource via it's properties in the VB.NET
project. Finally, I do a "New Bitmap(MyStream )" to fetch the resource into a
Bitmap object and job done - I can display it in a PictureBox.
However, when I add the same bmp into a DLL (ie: a Class Library project)
instead of an EXE project, it doesn't work. When I set the stream object to
MyAssemblyName. GetManifestReso urceStream("MyD llName.MyBitmap .BMP") the
stream is returned as "nothing". I'm sure my embedded resource path is
correct because I use "ILDASM.EXE " to check out the DLL assemblies manifest,
and the path shows as public mydllname.MyBit map.BMP.
So what am I doing wrong? Is it not permitted to read embedded resources
from a DLL? Or am I missing a step when dealing with DLL's? All I get is an
exception loading the bitmap because the stream is "nothing".
Thanks for help,

Figured it out!
When you have an EXE project open simultaneous with a DLL (Class Library)
project VB.NET will permit you to flip back and forth between the two very
easily. You can even make changes in the DLL code while in the EXE project
and do debugging.
BUT DON'T!!!
Because the code changes you make don't always apply. To be certain that
they are applied you must always go back to the DLL project, rebuild it,
then go back to your EXE project and run.
Therefore the coding changes I made to fix my Embedded Resource problem
weren't being applied. In fact, my coding changes were correct but I didn't
know it.

Hello,
I'm developing an application that periodically reads embedded assembly
resources. The resources are text-based, and are about 3-7KB in size,
and the application accesses them by calling the
Assembly.GetManifestResourceStream() method.
During a long period of execution, I've noticed that the memory usage
of the application increases; specifically, it appears that the

Hi,
I'm writing a WinForms app in C# which requires a 3rd party executable
called htmldoc.exe in order to create PDF documents from HTML files. To
prevent the app from not functioning if the user accidentally deletes this

When the app starts up, it will search for the executable and "extract" it
if it's missing. I found the following code on the Net:

Hey there,
I need a string stream, but I can't find one in .NET. I thought StringWriter
would derive from Stream, alas it doesn't do so.
Which leads me to my next question: What is the purpose of
System.IO.StringWriter (or, what is its added value)??? It can do the same
things with StringBuilder, and I see no added value.
The reason why I need the string stream, is that I have a library that knows

Hello,
My 1.1 web site was using GetManifestResourceStream to get strategic .js
files embedded as resources in the site assembly, but now it is no more
allowed to embed resources by specifying a build process of embedding.
,Now we have the App_GlobalResources so how to use code like this with it :

Greetings all...
I was playing around with compressing streams and came across a behavior
that I do not understand. I create a stream (input) from the contents of a
textbox. That stream is compressed into another stream (output). I then
copy the stream (output) to another stream (input2). The compressed stream
(input2) is then decompressed into a final stream (output2).
My question is this. I create input2 from output.GetBuffer()...

Hi,
I followed an example that loads an embedded resource
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/324567
That works just fine and dandy.
My problem is that my namespaces are setup a bit differently.
I tried using both namespaces and neither seem to work.
I'm assuming it shoud be the First_namespace, since that is the project namespace.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.

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,...
