I have written a visual Basic 2008/2010 program that uses the data of a comma delimited csv file to populate a (2) dimensional array that is used as input to the Main Program. I want to embed the CSV File as a Embedded Resources File that is copied to the C:\Drive. Then when the Main Program Starts Up the CSV File is then used to populate a (2) dimensional array which is then used as Input to the Main Program. By embedding the CSV File as a Resources File it will compile as part of the executable program. There is very little information available regarding the coding of this process.
The Original CSV File is FileName = "MyCSVFile. txt"
The Filename of the File on C:\ Drive is "MyDataFile.txt "
The Original CSV File is stored in the Resources File with the Build Action set as Embedded Resource.
The CSV File when copied to the "MyDataFile.txt " will overwrite the current File if one exists and will be deleted when the Main Program is Closed.
My current attempts to retrieve the Resources file generates <type> errors related to array dimensions.
Any Help with attempting to standardize the process of copying an embedded CSV resources File to a File on a Hard Drive will be greatly appreciated.
Please inform me if additional information is required.
Thank You
