I have an embedded js resource in my Assembly asp.net 2.0

In the immediate Window I do:

((System.Web.UI.WebResourceAttribute)Attribute.GetCustomAttributes(Asm)[7])
{System.Web.UI.WebResourceAttribute}
base {System.Attribute}: {System.Web.UI.WebResourceAttribute}
ContentType: "application/x-javascript"
PerformSubstitution: false
WebResource: "Util.Ctrl.GridView.GridViewCheckBox.js"

and

Asm.GetManifestResourceInfo("Util.Ctrl.GridView.GridViewCheckBox.js")
null

Shouldn't I be getting something other than null???

my AssemblyInfo.cs contains:
[assembly: WebResource("Util.Ctrl.GridView.transparent.gif", "img/gif")]
[assembly: WebResource("Util.Ctrl.GridView.GridViewCheckBox.js",
"application/x-javascript")]

Asm.GetManifestResourceInfo("Util.Ctrl.GridView.transparent.gif")
{System.Reflection.ManifestResourceInfo}
FileName: null
ReferencedAssembly: null
ResourceLocation: Embedded | ContainedInManifestFile

The gif and the js files are in the same directory!

Hi Chuck,

I'm not sure, would you please check if the build action of the .js file is
also set to "Embedded resource" as the .gif file? Please note, the naming
of the webresource should be composed of three parts: default namespace +
subdirectory path + file name.

For example, if your assembly has default namespace "ClassLibrary1", and
the GridViewCheckBox.js is located at a subdirectory "test", the web
resource name should be "ClassLibrary1.test.GridViewCheckBox.js".

Walter,
I did mess up and forgot to put the js file as an embedded resource.
However,

If I have the file in project directory at:

Util\Ctrl\GridView\GridViewCheckBox.js
and the assembly as
[assembly: WebResource("Util.Ctrl.GridView.GridViewCheckBox.js",
"application/x-javascript")]

everything works fine.

However if I move the file to:
Util\Ctrl\GridView\checkBox\GridViewCheckBox.js
and the assembly as:
[assembly: WebResource("Util.Ctrl.GridView.checkBox.GridViewCheckBox.js",
"application/x-javascript")]

it doesn't find it.

The project namespace is Util
The control which loads the embedded resource is in namespace
Util.Ctrl

Hi Chuck,

Is the root/default namespace "Util.Ctrl"? and the directory in the project
starts with "GridView\checkbox\GridViewCheckBox.js"?

It's strange that it cannot find the resource. Can you send me a
reproducible project for further troubleshooting? Thanks.

Hi Chuck,

Thanks for the code.

I've done some test using your code:

1) Move GridViewCheckBox.js into its subfolder checkBox
2) Modify AssemblyInfo.cs to use:

[assembly: WebResource("Util.Ctrl.GridView.checkBox.GridViewCheckBox.js",
"application/x-javascript")]

3) Modify GridView_Ex.CheckBox.js:

private const string CheckBoxJsResourceLocation =
"Util.Ctrl.GridView.checkBox.GridViewCheckBox.js";

4) After I rebuilding the Ctrl.dll, I used a console program to test it and
it works correctly.

I suggest you rebuilding your project, of even re-add the reference if
necessary.

thanks,
I had to go into the test project, remove the reference to the util class
and then add it back before it would work. Just deleting the dll didnt work.
