This task is very common but since i did not find a clear and simple solution i decided to write it.
I have a simple C# application which has a webbrowser control and i want to use the res:// protocol to navigate to an embedded resource, a html file from the assembly, like this:
webbrowser.Navigate("res://myApp.exe/Help.htm");
since managed resources are not native ones, adding an html file to the project and select "embedded resource" wont help.
if you open the assembly with a resource editor you won;t see the html resource.
hence, the res:// protocol wont work.
so i wrote this simple console application which accepts as parameters the resource file you want to add.
Usage:
AddResourceManaged.exe ExePath ResFile ResName [ResType]
adds a new resource to an exe file
ExePath - path of the exe
ResFile - path of the file to be added as a resource
ResName - name of the resource
ResType - (optional) type of the resource; if omitted, the application will try to use one of the default resource types
based on the ResFile file extension
Example:
AddResourceManaged.exe myManagedApp.exe Help.htm help.htm 23
it is equivalent to:
AddResourceManaged.exe myManagedApp.exe Help.htm help.htm
because the value of MAKEINTRESOURCE(RT_HTML) is 23
