Recently I was delving into Localization with .NET. Essentially, I learnt how to customize a form (using the Language and Localizable property) and then change the culture accordingly. However, I found that when migrating my hard coded English strings into the auto-generated resource files, and use .GetString("Key") -- well, let's just ...
It is possible to base64 encode an image and deliver it as part of the html content using the <img src="data:image/gif;base64,UEsDBBQAAAgIALp9...MTs9Snj3=="> I notice that Silverlight's object tag is supposed to be something like: <object type="application/x-silverlight" data="data:application/x-silverlight;base64," width=...

I have embedded an EXE as a resource in my Win32 application. I'm looking to the registry for a certain value. If the value is there and correct, then i copy the embedded EXE to the local file system an execute it from there. I don't want it to be extracted from my EXE. Should i do anything to prevent this, or is it impossible already...

I need to create a .dll assembly to read contents of a xml file embedded as a resource and show the content on an ASP.NET page. I searched through the internet for solution to modify the xml file (which embedded as a resource in the .dll assembly) and found out that it's almost impossible to do so. Here's my scenario: 1. I created a .d...
Is there a way to conditionally embed resources into a .NET project? I.e. if I have defined INCLUDETHIS then I want a certain large file embedded into the dll, otherwise I do not want it embedded. I know I can make two projects to do this, but I'm hoping to do it all in one project. The code that uses the file is easily conditioned with ...
Hi, I am using a xml file as an embedded resource to load an XDocument. We are using the following code to get the appropriate file from the Assembly: XDocument xd = new XDocument(); Assembly assembly = null; try { assembly = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly(); } catch(Exception ex) { //Write exception to server event log } try {...

Hi all, I have a case where I need to load bitmap from a resource dll and release handle to it. The update mechanism may update the dll, and having it open will fail overwriting it. So lets say I have something like this: HINSTANCE hInst = LoadLibraryEx(resourceDll, NULL, LOAD_LIBRARY_AS_DATAFILE); HBITMAP hBitmap = LoadBitmap(hInst, ...
I've read through the two other threads that extract the dll from the application at run time. One of these methods used the current Windows temporary directory to save the dll in, but it was an unmanaged dll and had to be imported at runtime with DllImport. Assuming that my managed dll exported to the temporary directory, how can I prop...
When you embed a resource into a .NET assembly using Visual Studio, it is prefixed with the assembly name. However, assemblies can have embedded resources that are not assembly-name-prefixed. The only way I can see to do this is to disassemble the assembly using ILDASM, then re-assemble it, adding the new resource -- which works, but... ...
I have a flex application and have embedded a flash (SWF) file into it using <mx:SWFLoader>. There is an "Exit" button on the Flash file. I want to be able to handle the button click event on the flex application. So when that button in the flash file is clicked, I want to perform an action in the parent flex application. How can I do t...
I have the following scenario. I show the user some audio files from the server. The user clicks on one, then onFileSelected is eventually executed with both the selected folder and file. What the function does is change the source from the embedded object. So in a way, it is a preview of the selected file before accepting it and save t...
Hi I've embedded several views in a library so that I can re-use across projects using this method which works OK: http://www.wynia.org/wordpress/2008/12/aspnet-mvc-plugins/ But one view usings a Javascript file. I've tried marking this as an embedded resource and adding it AssemblyInfo.cs and then referencing this resource using <%...

I have an excel file that I want to embed in my C# assembly. I have changed the build action of the XLSX file to "Embedded Resource". During runtime, I have to retrieve this XLSX file from the assembly. Assembly assembly = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly(); StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(assembly.GetManifestResourceStream("AssemblyNa...
We have a customer that would like to modify application user messages that we store in .resx files. I'm thinking this can't be done since the xml file behind the .resx is embedded in a compiled dll. Am I correct? Or, is there a way keep the xml outside of the compiled dll? I realize this can easily be done by other means but I like ...
Hi, I am writing my first wxWidgets application which aims to be cross-platform. The program uses dll file for plugins and in Windows, reads dll resource part for information regarding plugin name, author name etc. I have never used Unix or MacOS (little Linux though) and am wondering whether compiling binary for these other OSes will r...
