Embedded Resource Files

[doomsday123]

Is there an easy way to copy an Embedded Resource file to the file
system? I have a config file that is an Embedded Resource in my project
that I want to copy to a location in the file system but the only way I
can think of doing it is to read it and then create a new file and
write to the file.

Get the resource stream by using Stream s =
System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetManifestResourceStream("myResource");

Then simply write the Stream to the files system, using the correct extension!

Hope the helps.

Hi,

Get the resource stream by using Stream s =
System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetManifestResourceStream("myResource");

Then simply write the Stream to the files system, using the correct extension!

Or, to simplify the extension thing, simply save the file in the
resources using the extension already.

And remember that the path in the resources is separated with dots, not
slashes.

myAssembly.GetManifestResourceStream("myFolder.myResource.jpg");

HTH,
Laurent

I have posted an example on my blog at:

It can save a text based stream to the file system.
