[RESOLVED] Resource files in VS2010

[Bill Crawley]

Hi All,

I have added an xsd to a resource file of my solution.

I now want to get to the xsd file, but am having difficulty. When I added the file to the resource file, the Persistence type is set to Linked at compile time.

My resource file is called Resources.resx and the xsd file resides physically in a subdirectory of the solution. The file is called RBGENERIC.xsd.

So, my code so far looks like this:

string filePath = System.AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory.ToString();
            ResourceManager resourceManager = ResourceManager.CreateFileBasedResourceManager("Resources", filePath, null);
            string res = resourceManager.GetString("RBGENERIC");

my code fails tring to set the res string with:

Could not find any resources appropriate for the specified culture (or the neutral culture) on disk.
baseName: Resources locationInfo: <null> fileName: Resources.resources

I then want to add this to a Schema set in the form:

 XmlSchemaSet sc = new XmlSchemaSet();
            sc.Add("http://www.mytargetname", res);

I had this working fine using a path with the xsd being stored outside the project. But I now need to embed the xsd as a resource.

Sorry guys, I was going the wrong way about it. I do not need an actual resource file, instead all I need to do is right mouse click on the file properties and select the build action and set it to Embedded Resource.

Then my code becomes:

Assembly assembly = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly();
                Stream stream = assembly.GetManifestResourceStream("mynamespace,filename");

                XmlSchema schema = XmlSchema.Read(stream, null);
                XmlSchemaCollection schemas = new XmlSchemaCollection();

                schemas.Add(schema);
           
                XmlReader reader = new XmlTextReader(xml);
                XmlValidatingReader validReader = new XmlValidatingReader(reader);
                validReader.Schemas.Add(schemas);
                validReader.ValidationEventHandler += new ValidationEventHandler(ValidationCallback);
                while (validReader.Read()) ;
                validReader.Close();
