在Monogame中将dll和内容嵌入exe

Question

In other C# projects such as Window Forms and WPF , I can just copy the built exe to other environment with .net and run without errors.

However, in MonoGame , the exe file requires a lot of dlls and needs the content folder to run successfully.

Is there a way to include the dlls and contents inside the exe?

Answer 1

Actually, it can be achieved by 2 steps.

1. Embedding the dlls.
2. Including the contents.

Embedding the dlls

This can be easily achieved by installing Costura.Fody using NuGet.

Type the following line to the Package Manager Console

Install-Package Costura.Fody

Including the contents

1. Copy your compiled content files ( .xnb files and other contents) to your Content folder.
2. Go to the project property page and add your compiled content files to your resources.

3. Replace the code below:

    public Game1() { graphics = new GraphicsDeviceManager(this); Content.RootDirectory = "Content"; } 

   with

    public Game1() { graphics = new GraphicsDeviceManager(this); ResourceContentManager resxContent; resxContent = new ResourceContentManager(Services, Resources.ResourceManager); Content = resxContent; } 

4. Finished! You can now load content using the old method

    Content.Load<Texture2D>("Image1");
