GetEmbedded Resource from Derived class

[John]

Hi,

I have a base class that's compiled in an assembly.
public class mybase
{
public void mymethod()
{
//can i get the embeded resources?
//Stream st =
assembly.GetCallingAssembly.GetManifestResourceStream("ResourceName");
}
}

I create another project, added a class derived from the mybase
public class myderived : mybase
{

}
and I have an embedded resource in this assembly.

My question is how (is it possible) to get the embedded resource in the
derived class assembly from the mymethod() in the base class?

Thanks very much!

John

Use ResourceManager to retrieve the resources for the required type

Hi John,

Thank you for posting in the community!

Based on my understanding, you use
assembly.GetCallingAssembly.GetManifestResourceStream to get the resource
in a parent class in an assembly, then you derive from this class and
calling mymethod(Which is overrided from parent class) in the child class,
you want to know if this is possible.

===============================================
In your code, you invoke Assembly.GetCallingAssembly which will return the
Assembly of the method that invoked the currently executing method.
So althrough mymethod is overrided from parent class,
Assembly.GetCallingAssembly will return the child class's assembly.

Then, GetManifestResourceStream will retrieve the child assembly's
resource. So your code should work as you expected.

Addtionally, for more information about how to deal with Resource in
VS.net, please refer to:
