Loading Embedded Resources ?

Hi ,

Requirement is, I have to load my Xslt file into Exe/DLL.

I have created one .Xslt file and C# code for the same to produce
on .Xml file, like this:

System.Xml.XPath.XPathDocument Xmlpath = new
System.Xml.XPath.XPathDocument(filename);
XslTransform xsl = new XslTransform();
Stream xmlStream = this.GetType().Assembly.GetManifestResourceStream
("SolutionNameSpaceName.FormatConvertion.xslt");
System.Xml.XmlReader xmlReader = new System.Xml.XmlTextReader(xmlStrea
m );
xsl.Load(xmlReader);
XmlTextWriter textWriter = new XmlTextWriter(OutputPath +
"OutputFile.xml ", UTF8Encoding .Defaul t);
xsl.Transform(Xmlpath, list, textWriter);


My problem is with this statement:
Stream xmlStream = this.GetType().Assembly.GetManifestResourceStream
("SolutionNameSpaceName.FormatConvertion.xslt");

I have given my Application nameSpace "." Xslt filename but it returns
null into xmlStream.

For more informaton: I have read some information regarding
http://www.aisto.com/roeder/dotnet/ assembly Reflector, but still I
am unable to do this.

By using Reflector I am unable to see the Xslt file information after
loading the my solution DLL.

thanks in advance
regards

Rasheed,

Ensure that your Namespace.FomatConvertion.xslt is all cased correctly and
also spelt correctly. Either of this will ensure that the resource is not
located. I use the same code for reading from the embedded resource as
follows

string script = string.Empty;

using (StreamReader reader = new
StreamReader(this.GetType().Assembly.GetManifestResourceStre am("DataManager.Script.xml")))

{

script = reader.ReadToEnd();

}

Re: Loading Embedded Resources ?

If you add in the Resource using the design-time tools, you can do this in a
strongly types, really easy way.

To do this:
Add in a Resource file to project (Resource1.resx).

Double-click on the resource file, and add an existing item to it (on the
top: "Add Resource | Existing File").

For example, I added "MyFile.xslt" in just now.

This lets me type:
string s = Resource1.MyFile_xslt;

... and everything is nice and strongly typed, with no need for
GetManifestStream calls.
