Embedded Source

[zackiv31]

So I embedded an exe using Visual Studio. (By changing it's properties to embedded), but when I try to access the resource in the code, it doesn't appear in the list. I have three embedded files, two pics and this exe, but only the pics showup in the list...

I'm accessing them this way:

myProject.Properties.Resources.(name here)

What am I doing wrong?

This is the error I get:
Error 1 Source file 'C:\Documents and Settings\me\My Documents\Visual Studio 2005\Projects\File Test\File Test\Resources\my.exe' could not be opened ('Unspecified error ') File Test

if you use the one that VS made for you when you started the project then you should be able to access it by

myapp.Properties.Resources.MyResourceName

does it not appear in the list after you type Resources. ??

This is usually a naming problem.

Use Reflector (or Ildasm.exe) to examine your compiled assembly for embedded resources. First, make sure it's really there. Second, look at what it's called, and use that name in your code.
