How to read a Resourced file?

[cghvw]

Hi,

my previous question about reading Resource Assembly info was greatly honoured and solved.

but I'v encountered another issue.

I simply access an .xml file from my application.
But after publishing and installing my application it misses my xml file....
So thinking being smart (;-)) I added this .xml file as a resource to my solution.

But now I wonder how I programatically should access this xml file from the resource.

Thanks

Henk

Hi Henk,

Just let me answer myself... ;-)

When accessing a resource which is an xml file then it will return a STRING to the CONTENTS of the resourced xml file.

So to get the xml contents we need:

string s = MyNameSpace.Properties.Resources.MyXmlFileName;

To convert the data to an internal computer memory XML document we do:

XmlDocument.InnerXml = s;

thats all,

thanks for listening anyway.
