使用GetManifestResourceStream读取资源

Question

I'm trying to read a binary file from a resource using

Stream input = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetManifestResourceStream(resourceName);

where resourceName is a string, containing the resource's filename. I'm getting a null object back. I tried the fully qualified path (eg "myAssemblyName.Properties.Resources." + resourceName) but that didn't work either.

Am I missing something?

Make sure your file is included in the project. Make sure that the "Build Action" for your file is set to "Embedded Resource". Check what the name is with

Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetManifestResourceNames()

Load the resource stream with

Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetManifestResourceStream()
