在没有Visual Studio的C＃中嵌入资源

Question

I have a question similar to this . However, I am not using Visual Studio (yeah, I know I should but I don't want to, so don't just say use Visual Studio). How would you embed a text file into an exe using only notepad and csc.exe?

Answer 1

According to this website: building embedded resources using csc

Using this KB article and the docs for vs.net's csharp compiler options I arrived at this:

csc.exe /out:Resources.dll /target:library /res:image.png,Resources.image.png Resources.cs

The tricky thing here is that the ms docs for the /res option only mention using it with .resources files, which are compiled resx files. But in fact you can embed any sort of file in there. The "Resources.image.png" part identifies the resource and puts it under the Resources namespace, which is what vs.net will do when specify a default namespace for the project.

Answer 2

Looking at the help for csc.exe shows that it supports an option /resource:<resinfo> or /res for short.

Looking at the build output from a project in VS that has an embedded resource shows that it uses this as well: /resource:TextFile1.txt,ConsoleApplication2.TextFile1.txt

Apparently resinfo means relative\\path\\to\\FileName,ResourceName .
