Hi,

I've a gif in my project inside one of its directories (for example: Graphics\Icons), its is compiled as embedded resource.

I can't get the gif's stream when calling the method:
Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetManifestResourceStream("GUI.Battery1.gif");
Where GUI is the assembly name, and Battery1.gif is the image name.

This line works fine when the image is in the root of the project.

How can I make it work from directories?



Tomer.

Assuming that your image is placed into directory "Graphics\Icons" to
retrieve this image you should write something like this:

Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetManifestResourceStream("GUI.Graphics.Icons.Battery1.gif");

Since you have to explicitly set the full path to the image in you assembly.

Will it work with directories with embedded spaces, like "Status bar\Icons"?

A namespace can't contain whitespaces that's why you can't embed your
image into the directory with a space like "Status bar" but you can
rename it like "Status_Bar", "StatusBar" ...

Actually you can place resources in folders with spaces like "Status bar".
When referencing this is code you substitute the space with an underscore
like "Status_bar" and Visual Studio does the rest.
