Question : C#: Embedded files

I have been racking my brain to solve this problem. I have two C# application.

1: CSharpUtilityBelt (Class Library built into a DLL)
2: ConsoleApplication1 (Built into an EXE)

In the class library I have added a XML file and set it to embedded resource. Then in ConsoleApplication1 I referenced CSharpUtilityBelt. I have been looking for ways to get to the embedded resource, here is what I found.

"Do you want the data in the file or the filename? I use the following to
access the contents of an embedded file:

Stream stream =
Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetManifestResourc eStream(name);

Note that the name needs to include the default namespace for the[/color][/color]
project.[color=blue][color=green]
e.g. If the default namespace was My.Namespace and the file with its[/color][/color]
build[color=blue][color=green]
action set to "Embedded Resource" was called TextFile1.txt then you'd[/color][/color]
need[color=blue][color=green]
to pass "My.Namespace.TextFile1.txt" to GetManifestResourceStream().

You can check what the name to use for a built assembly by loading the
assembly into ildasm.exe, opening the manifest, and looking for the[/color]
relevant[color=green]
.mresource entry.

 e.g.


 .mresource public My.Namespace.TextFile1.txt
{
}"

Here is my code in ConsoleApplication1:

System.IO.Stream stream = System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetManifestResourceStream(ConsoleApplication1.TestXMLFile.xml);

I tried the namespace ConsoleApplication1.TestXMLFile.xml and CSharpUtilityBelt.TestXMLFile.xml. Eitehr way I get the error "The type or namespace name 'TestXMLFile' does not exist in the namespace 'ConsoleApplication1' (are you missing an assembly reference?)". I do not know what to do next.

Answer : C#: Embedded files

You should move the code

System.IO.Stream stream = System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetManifestResourceStream("CSharpUtilityBelt.TestXMLFile.xml");

to a function inside the dll.  
Then GetExecutingAssembly should return the DLL assembly (since that one is executing at that moment).
Note that the name of the manifest resource is case sensitive.
