[RESOLVED] GetManifestResourceStream & ResourceManager.GetStream

[mickey_pt]

Hello

I have an application that has some files in the resources that i need to extract at run-time, but i can't find a way to do this...

Neither the Assembly.GetManifestResourceStream neither the My.Resources.ResourceManager.GetStream work.

I already tried in various forms to pass the string name of the resource:
- AssemblyName.Resource.Ext
- AssemblyName.Resource
- Resource.Ext
- Resource
And none of them work. I created a simple app to test this and added a little img.jpg:

The code:

Dim myAssm As Assembly = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly
Dim myAssmName As String = myAssm.GetName.Name
Dim resor1 As String = String.Concat(myAssmName, ".img.jpg")
Dim resor2 As String = String.Concat(myAssmName, ".img")
Dim resor3 As String = "img.jpg"
Dim resor4 As String = "img"
 
Dim st As IO.Stream
st = myAssm.GetManifestResourceStream(resor1)
st = myAssm.GetManifestResourceStream(resor2)
st = myAssm.GetManifestResourceStream(resor3)
st = myAssm.GetManifestResourceStream(resor4)
 
st = My.Resources.ResourceManager.GetStream(resor1)
st = My.Resources.ResourceManager.GetStream(resor2)
st = My.Resources.ResourceManager.GetStream(resor3)
st = My.Resources.ResourceManager.GetStream(resor4)

What I'm missing here?
