Most of the threads I've read about this question answer that you just have to access them like this:
<MyProjectNamespace>.Properties.Resources.<MyResourceName>
But at the build process I have this message:
<MyProjectNamespace> does not contain a definition for 'Properties'
It seems that the class 'Properties' is normally auto-generated by the IDE when you add resources to your project.
The fact is that I'm working on Eclipse and I don't really know how to add resources, but I managed to generate a .resx file from Visual Studio (which I use to design my Windows form) that I added to Nant .build file as a 'resource', along with my bitmaps. Then it indeed embed the resources, but I can't access them...
So how can I embed resources in my application (normally), and access them, using Eclipse + Emonic + Nant to build it?
Thanks,
Paul.
You should create a ResourceManager
instance to open a resx file like this:
ResourceManager resources = new ResourceManager("<MyProjectNamespace>.Properties.Resources", typeof(<any type in the assembly>).Assembly);
string myString = resources.GetString("myString");
Bitmap myBitmap = resources.GetObject("myBitmap") as Bitmap;
If they are the resources of a form you can also get them as following:
ResourceManager resources = new ResourceManager(typeof(Form1));
