I've tried a few different ways but it won't open when it's saved. How can I accomplish this?
Basically I want to be able to save an MP4 file that's currently a resource file to a temp location that I can access as a path.
Here's something I've tried:
public static void WriteResourceToFile(string resourceName, string fileName)
{
using (Stream s = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetManifestResourceStream(resourceName))
{
if (s != null)
{
byte[] buffer = new byte[s.Length];
char[] sb = new char[s.Length];
s.Read(buffer, 0, (int)(s.Length));
/* convert the byte into ASCII text */
for (int i = 0; i <= buffer.Length - 1; i++)
{
sb[i] = (char)buffer[i];
}
using (StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter(fileName))
{
sw.Write(sb);
sw.Flush();
}
}
}}
You're overcomplicating it.
Try something like this (note, not compiled or tested, and Stream.CopyTo() only exists in .NET 4.0 and later).
using (Stream s = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetManifestResourceStream(resourceName)))
using (FileStream fs = File.Open("c:\myfile.mp4", FileMode.Create))
{
s.CopyTo(fs);
}
Job done.
If you don't have .NET 4.0 available, you'll need to implement one yourself, like one of these: How do I copy the contents of one stream to another?
To get a list of all of the resource names in the current assembly, do something like this:
Assembly a = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly();
foreach (string s in a.GetManifestResourceNames())
{
Console.WriteLine(s);
}
Console.ReadKey();
Take what turns up on the console and pass it into GetManifestResourceStream() in the first snippet I posted.

Why are you writing an MP4 as a string? You should write out bytes without modification. Your conversion to chars is modifying the data. Use The FileStream call and call the Write method.
you could try something like this:
I pasted the wrong code in.... sorry, i was in a hurry
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Create(VideoSermons video, HttpPostedFileBase videoFile)
{
var videoDb = new VideoSermonDb();
try
{
video.Path = Path.GetFileName(videoFile.FileName);
video.UserId = HttpContext.User.Identity.Name;
videoDb.Create(video);
if (videoFile != null && videoFile.ContentLength > 0)
{
var videoName = Path.GetFileName(videoFile.FileName);
var videoPath = Path.Combine(Server.MapPath("~/Videos/"),
System.IO.Path.GetFileName(videoFile.FileName));
videoFile.SaveAs(videoPath);
}
return RedirectToAction("Index");
}
catch
{
return View();
}
}
this actually loads video files to a directory, but it should work for your format as well.
