I tried using Assembly.GetManifestResourceNames() and I got back an array of 33 resources:

var resources = System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetManifestResourceNames();
using (var sw = new StreamWriter(@"C:\someplace\resources.txt", true))
{
    foreach (var resource in resources)
    {
        sw.WriteLine(resource.ToString());
    }
}

I get this:

FALCON6.g.resources
FALCON6.DownloadDialog.resources
FALCON6.ucAdvancedSettingsConfig.resources
FALCON6.ucConfigureBluetoothSensor.resources
FALCON6.ucBluetoothPairing.resources
FALCON6.ucBluetoothPairingItem.resources
FALCON6.ucCOPSoundSelector.resources
FALCON6.ucConfigureFalcon6Sensor.resources
FALCON6.ucConfigureWiredSensor.resources
FALCON6.ucCOPIconSelector.resources
FALCON6.ucCOPSettings.resources
FALCON6.ucFC6ActivityListContainer.resources
FALCON6.ucFC6Sensor.resources
FALCON6.FALCON6MainForm.resources
FALCON6.Properties.Resources.resources
FALCON6.ucCameras.resources
FALCON6.ucConnectMain.resources
FALCON6.ucConnect_Prof.resources
FALCON6.ucConnect_Profs.resources
FALCON6.ucFC6Activity.resources
FALCON6.ucFC6SensorPictureBox.resources
FALCON6.ucFC6Timeline.resources
FALCON6.ucGSMConfig.resources
FALCON6.ucImageResizer.resources
FALCON6.ucImageViewer.resources
FALCON6.ucIPAddressConfig.resources
FALCON6.ucLiveView.resources
FALCON6.ucRow.resources
FALCON6.ucTable.resources
FALCON6.ucMapCompositeExtended.resources
FALCON6.ucUploadSettings.resources
FALCON6.ucVideo.resources
FALCON6.ucVideoPlayer.resources

I have no clue which of these is right, and I have no idea how to use it.

Hm.. did you actually select "Embedded Resource" as the Build Action for your wav-file?

1 - I double click the "resources.resx" node in the Solution Explorer. The resources view opens.

2 - I select "Audio" from the type dropdown at the top

3 - I right click the audio file. There is no option to embed.

4 - I bring up properties and drop down the "Persistence" option. I selected "Embedded in .resx" option.

I don't see any "Build Action"

If it's not broken, fix it until it is

OK, I got it... I added the file to the SOLUTION, not the RESOURCES node, then set it to embedded, and it's resource name is "FALCON6.fc6sound.wav"..

With that, my code above now works.

Sascha Lefèvre5-May-15 11:32

Yes, that's what I assumed because you already used GetManifestResourceStream(..) in your code.

This is how you would access it from the resources.resx:

System.IO.UnmanagedMemoryStream stream = Properties.Resources.fc6sound;

Please read http://www.codeproject.com/Messages/1278604/How-to-get-an-answer-to-your-question.aspx[^]. There are many samples and papers that google will find for you.

Try this: How to: patterns[^]

Or did you have a different pattern in mind? You have to be specific, you know!

There's a pattern that people who post here for the first time often don't ask good questions.

A pattern is a description of a way to solve a common design problem. The behaviour and terminology is formalised, so that people use the same terms when describing these solutions. There are many great resources available for learning about patterns. The classic example is the Gang of Four (GoF) book[^]. It's a bit hard to follow when you're first learning it, so I'd recommend something like the Head First Design Patterns book. Beyond that, take a look at dofactory.com[^]. They have lots of examples of patterns.

This is not a good question - we cannot work out from that little what you are trying to do.
Remember that we can't see your screen, access your HDD, or read your mind.

Perhaps if you show us the code you used and explain where the link is, it might help?

Look at the source of your received email. I guess there's still just www.adobe.com and your email client just displays it as a hyperlink.

Isn't that the answer for you then?

Yes, it converts it into hyperlink.

Your email client displays it as hyperlink. Other people using other mail clients might see it just as it looks in your mail source. There's nothing you can do about that.
