For my C# project, I put the release .dll on another computer. This application launches ESRI ArcMap. Once open the user adds my application from the View –>Toolbars menu.

The problem is that the menu icons do not display. The icons appear fine on my computer.

From this post it looks like I need to add the code from the "Load Image Resource" section, but where in my code do I put it?

Thanks for your help!

Is there a way to modify the resource in runtime?

Let's say that I have a xml file embedded, I open it from my appplication and then I modify the info. How can I update the embedded version of the xml file?

You cannot get a path for embedded resources, as these files are within your assembly and not stored in a separate file on disk.

I'm not sure what your richtextboxLoadFile() routine does, but it won't work with embedded resources if you require a file name.

Instead, you need to modify your routine to accept a string argument that contains the file's CONTENTS. e.g., if you were setting a RichTextBox directly, you would set the .Rtf property.

Hi, i need some help, i'm integrating several .rtf's in a form, and i want to put them as embeded resources, but the matter is to call an archive, with the method richtextboxLoadFile() because it accepts a string with the path, and i don't know how to get it; i saw your example but always comes out an error of File not found (the file exists in the resources folder) it's necessary declare the assembly??

Hey, watch the hyphens "-" in folder names, they become underscores "_". This only happens on folder names not files(go figure!)
