I am trying to open a resx file that is a resource in my C# project. I need to create a ResXResourceSet object. However at runtime an "Illegal characters in path" exception is thrown. This is the code I am trying to use.
var resX = new ResXResourceSet(Project.Properties.Resources.ResXFile);
The ResXResourceSet class has only two constructors (from stream and from file name). How can I create an object of the ResXResourceSet class in this situation?
Use Project.Properties.Resources.ResourceManager.GetStream("ResXFile");
If I understand correctly, the value in ResXFile is a string with the complete contents of the ResX, and not a file path, which is what ResXResourceSet expects when you pass it a string. You'll need to wrap a stream around it.
See this question for getting a stream from a string: how to generate a stream from a string?
Also, if you make the resource file into a project item, like the main resources, you can access its ResourceSet through its ResourceManager: ResXFile.ResourceManager.GetResourceSet()
You can add a ResX to your project by rightclicking on the project > Add > New Item > Resources File.

I am trying to load a .lex file into a custom dictionary for a RichTextBox spell checking.
Here is my folder structure
Solution
Project
Folder1
file.xaml / file.cs
Folder2
UploadFile.lex
I am using the code from here and I call it in file.cs
IList dictionaries = SpellCheck.GetCustomDictionaries(richTextBox1);
// customwords2.lex is included as a resource file
dictionaries.Add(new Uri(#"pack://application:,,,/Folder2/UploadFile.lex"));
When I run my code, I am getting unable to load .lex file error. The second line of code is failing. Am I declaring the URI string correctly?
According to the project structure displayed above to add a custom dictionary to the richTextBox1 control use the following code:
IList dictionaries = SpellCheck.GetCustomDictionaries(richTextBox1);
dictionaries.Add(new Uri(#"pack://application:,,,/Folder1/Folder2/UploadFile.lex",
UriKind.Absolute));
It is necessary set the Build Action in the UploadFile.lex file properties to Resource.
I am using Xamarin.Forms, and I am trying to read text file from Resources, Code Below Returned Null value when trying to fetch text file.
var assembly = typeof(BookPage).GetTypeInfo().Assembly;
Stream stream = assembly.GetManifestResourceStream("AboutResources.txt");
//assembly here return null value, I can not find Text Resources
My Code under the following Class Inherited From ContentPage On PLC Project
public class BookPage : ContentPage
//First get the list of all resources available for debugging purpose
assembly.GetManifestResourceNames()
This will list all the (fully qualified names) of all resources embedded in the assembly your code is written in.
Link: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.reflection.assembly.getmanifestresourcenames(v=vs.110).aspx
Check if it has "AboutResources.txt" that you are expecting.
Check if you have incorrectly embedded the resource file, it will not show up in the list returned by the call to GetManifestResourceNames(). Make sure you you match the case of the name.
The following steps working fine for me:
1-First of all I added resource text file to same project
2-The file path must be like "Your Project name.your custom folder.filename".
var fileName = "MySampleProject.XMLData.rawxmldata.xml".
3-Make sure that Build Action is EmbeddedResource.
I've added a test.zip to a C# project by creating a Resource1.resx and dragged to the resx tab. It is now visible in the Solution Explorer as a child of Resources.
When the program runs, I'd like to move it from the .exe to a location on the computer like My Documents.
I've a feeling I need to convert the resource to a memory stream before I can write it to file but I'm not sure how to access the file as resource or how to convert it.
I think the following extracts the resource object (then again, it doesn't error no matter what the first param is) but I'm not sure how to proceed:
var resource = new ResourceManager("test", Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly());
Since you activate the resources you have already a ResourceManager.Just use GetObject method,get the bytes of your file and write the them to a new file with File.WriteAllBytes:
var bytes = Properties.Resources.ResourceManager.GetObject("resourceName") as byte[];
File.WriteAllBytes("newFile.zip", bytes);
You should use Assembly.GetManifestResourceStream.
using (Stream x = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetManifestResourceStream("test"))
{
...
}
Reference to MSDN.
I have embedded a resource into my code, I want to read the text and apply the text to some string variables. I have worked out how to do that when I use an external file but I only want the .exe
string setting_file = "config.txt";
string complete = File.ReadAllText(setting_file);
string Filename = complete.Split('#').Last(); //"Test.zip";
string URL = complete.Split('#').First();
How can I read the resource config.txt
(Preferably without new procedures)
The File class is only used for accessing the file system whereas your file is no longer in the system so this line needs to change. As others have hinted with linked answers you need to get the stream for the resource and then read that. The below method can be called to replace your File.ReadAllText method call.
private static string GetTextResourceFile(string resourceName)
{
var stream = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetManifestResourceStream(resourceName);
using (var sr = new StreamReader(stream))
{
return sr.ReadToEnd();
}
}
The resourceName will be something along the lines of MyNamespace.Myfile.txt. If you are having problems finding your resourcename then the method GetManifestResourceNames on the assembly will help you identify it while debugging.
Also of note is the above method will throw an exception if the resource isn't found. This should be handled in real code but I didn't want to confuse the above sample with standard error handling code.
See also How to read embedded resource text file for a different question with the same answer (that differs in that it asks only about streams but in fact streams seem to be the only way to access embedded resource files anyway).
This is how you can use embedded files Properties.Resources.yourfilename
I have an XML file included as part of my Silverlight 4.0 project that I'd like to access at runtime. I have the file saved in a directory named Resources with the Build Action set to "Content" and the Copy to Output Directory set to "Do not copy". If I decompress the XAP file, I see the XML file in the location I expect it to be, but I'm not sure how to reference it from code. I currently have the following:
Stream stream = System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetManifestResourceStream(#"/AssemblyName;component/Resources/MyFile.xml")
Unfortunately, stream is null after running the code above. In addition to the path mentioned above, I've tried "/Resources/MyFile.xml", "/MyFile.xml" and "MyFile.xml", but they all experience the same behavior.
What is the correct way to access an XML file embedded as a resource in a Silverlight application?
A resource with build action "Content" just gets embedded into the xap file, with the same relative directory structure as the application. It does not get embedded as a resource in the assembly.
When set to build action "Content", you should be able to just load the file using something like (or whatever suits your needs):
XElement.Load(<relative directory>/<file>)
The method you're using currently (using a resource stream) is for embedded resources (which have their build action set to "Resource"). And for those, although I haven't tried yet if your method works, usually you'll get the resources using
Application.GetResourceStream
I have used the code snip below to get access to drawables. Not sure it's completely relevant, but hoping this will give you a hint one way or another ...
Resources res = getResources();
spec = tabHost.newTabSpec("groups").setIndicator("Groups", res.getDrawable(R.drawable.ic_tab_groups)).setContent(intent);
As was mentioned by Willem van Rumpt, "content" resources are not usual resources (they aren't stored in assembly). I've checked out this article and could't found at all that you could reference resource, marked as "content" from other assembly.
So, you have two options:
Define XML as embedded resource
Define XML as resource
In first case stream request looks like:
var a = Assembly.Load("AssemblyName");
var s = a.GetManifestResourceStream(#"DefaultNamespace.Resources.XMLFile2.xml");
In second case:
var a = Assembly.Load("AssemblyName");
var rm = new ResourceManager("AssemblyName.g", a);
using (var set = rm.GetResourceSet(CultureInfo.CurrentCulture, true, true))
{
var ums = (UnmanagedMemoryStream)set.GetObject(#"Resources/XMLFile1.xml", true);
}
Hope this helps.
