SharpDevelop Community

 Hello: (My English is not so good, so i am sorry at first) I read Building Applications with the SharpDevelop Core on Codeproject to understand How ICSharpCode.Core workin. Everythink works fine with Visual Studio 2005. I wrote my own program on ICSharpCode.Core.

 My problem is: When am i began use VS 2008 Embeded resources as BitmapResources dosn't work. I use:

            Assembly exe = typeof(Start).Assembly;

            ResourceService.RegisterNeutralStrings(new ResourceManager("Startup.StringResources", exe));
            ResourceService.RegisterNeutralImages(new ResourceManager("Startup.ImageResources", exe));

Is it same as in ICSharpCode.Core.Demo.

When i compile my program in in VS 2008 and want use resources for example:

<MenuItem id = "RefreshGraph"
                label = "${res:Editor.Refresh}"
                icon = "Icons.Refresh16"
                class = "Editor.RefreshGraph"/>

Icons.Refresh16 is in  ImageResources.resources, but ICSharpCode make Exception that Icons.Refresh16 dosn't exist.

So i think that problem is in me so i try compile  ICSharpCode.Core.Demo with VS 2008.Here is problem, too.

So i try compile #develop 3.0 in VS2008 and here are the resources loaded.

Can you help me please?

PS: Resources are embeded in exe file. You are doing GREAT JOB, THANK YOU

When you open ICSharpCode.Core.Demo in VS 2008 it converts the project so it targets .NET 3.5. This then uses the new C# compiler which embed the .resources file differently. They lose the .resources part of the resource name.

Embedded as:

Startup.ImageResources
Startup.BitmapResources

Should be:

Startup.ImageResources.resources
Startup.BitmapResources.resources

When you run the ICSharpCode.Core.Demo the ResourceManager cannot find them since they are missing the file extension.

To fix the problem use ResGen.exe (part of the .NET SDK) and convert the .resources to .resx then remove the .resources from the project and add the .resx to the project. Then ICSharpCode.Core.Demo should work.

Another way to fix this is to use the <LogicalName> element as shown below.

   <EmbeddedResource Include="Resources\StringResources.resources">

Hi

ResourceService.RegisterNeutralImages(new ResourceManager("ImageResources", exe));

 In the Base.addin I have the following lines:

<Path name = "/MainForm/Toolbar">
<ToolbarItem id = "Open"
tooltip = "Open existing file"
icon ="Icons_Open"
class = "Arcos.ERP.Base.MainMenu.OpenCompanyCommand"/>
</Path>

Add the root namespace of your project to the name of the resource passed to the ResourceManager constructor.

ResourceService.RegisterNeutralImages(new ResourceManager("ASSEMBLY_ROOT_NAMESPACE.ImageResources", exe));

The root namespace is typically the same as the name of the project. You can see the root namespace in the Project options in the Application tab. 

Hey MattWard

Great, it works!

Thank you for your help, Mike
