I am trying to create a temporary file then change the temporary file to a .dotx that I have embedded into my C# program in Visual Studio. The code that I have below does not work correctly, the third line of Code where I try to reference my File in the Namespace.Properties.Resources.Myfile returns a build error saying there is no definition for the call.
Does anyone know of a better way to access this file in the folder I need.
string fileName = System.IO.Path.GetTempFileName(); // create a temp file
fileName = Path.ChangeExtension(fileName,"dotx"); //change the ext to dotx
File.WriteAllBytes(fileName, NameSpace.Properties.Resources.MyFile.dotx);
//This line of code returns the build error
What about
public void WriteResourceToFile(string resourceName, string fileName)
{
using(var resource = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetManifestResourceStream(resourceName))
{
using(var file = new FileStream(fileName, FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write))
{
resource.CopyTo(file);
}
}
}
