Hello,

since I had some difficulties to understand how to add resources in XIDE to use them in my X# program, I wrote a small test program. But there is also other people that has the same understanding problems.
Therefore I would like to post it here.
1) "Add existing" - "Add resource files"
You can retrieve it with:

oAssembly := Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly()
oBitmap	:= Bitmap{ oAssembly:GetManifestResourceStream( "blue.png" ) }

2) "Create new" - "New resource file"

oResourceManager := System.Resources.ResourceManager{ "bitmap", oAssembly }
oObject := oResourceManager:GetObject( "red.png" )
if oObject is Bitmap
  oBitmap := ( Bitmap ) oResourceManager:GetObject( "red.png" )
endif

You can find the complete working code including samples how to list the resources as XIDE export file here:

ResourcesSample.zip

Hope to help someone.

Wolfgang,
cool, and thx for the embedded link to MS doc.
One question: in the article he mentions

"...use of an alternate resource name after the comma of the file name to be embedded. The alternate resource name allows you to provide arbitrarily period-nested names for resources, regardless of the name of the file. It's the alternate name that makes it into the assembly..."

If i'd like to do so, how/where could i add the alternate name in Xide?

TIA
Karl

Hi Karl,

Hmm, that's not support at the moment, but I can add an option in the resource file item for specifying the namespace. If you needed to do that now, you would have to specify the resource via a direct /resource compiler option (in the general options editbox of the app properties). The syntax of the compiler switch in x# is exactly the same as in c#.
