    Embedded resources and the res protocol

    Hi,

    How do I embed a picture (gif for instance) in a dll using VB.NET so
    that the picture can be used in a html page with the res protocol?

    I have tried adding pictures (as Embedded resources) to my class
    library and then accessing them from html with
    <IMG SRC="res://ResLib.dll/GIF/ResLib.testpic. gif">

    The name "ResLib.testpic .gif" comes from
    System.Reflecti on.Assembly.Get ExecutingAssemb ly().GetManifes tResourceNames( )

    Thanks in advance,
    Dan

      Hi Dan

      AFAIK .NET does not recognise the res protocol. If you have access to Visual
      Studio 6, I would use it to create a dll in which you include your gifs. You
      can then use the res protocol to include them by number. For example

      res://c:\myproject\re source.dll/GIF/202

      HTH

          This doesn't work with managed resources. You will have to add
          unmanaged (Win32) resource to your application:
