.NET Forum / Languages / C# / November 2006Embedded Resource Files
Is there an easy way to copy an Embedded Resource file to the file system? I have a config file that is an Embedded Resource in my project that I want to copy to a location in the file system but the only way I can think of doing it is to read it and then create a new file and write to the file. Get the resource stream by using Stream s = System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetManifestResourceStream("myResource"); Then simply write the Stream to the files system, using the correct extension! Hope the helps.  SignatureGood luck!

Or, to simplify the extension thing, simply save the file in the resources using the extension already. And remember that the path in the resources is separated with dots, not slashes. myAssembly.GetManifestResourceStream("myFolder.myResource.jpg"); HTH, Laurent SignatureLaurent Bugnion, GalaSoft Software engineering: http://www.galasoft-LB.ch Private/Malaysia: http://mypage.bluewin.ch/lbugnion Support children in Calcutta: http://www.calcutta-espoir.ch I have posted an example on my blog at: http://geekswithblogs.net/shailensukul/archive/2006/11/24/97962.aspx It can save a text based stream to the file system.
