  Hello All.

  Gotcha. Something like a self-extracting transport for .mp3 files Your exe is not going to use the .mp3 files as such Is that correct

  Hello All.

  mcnamaragio:

  Okay, let's make sure we're on the same page here. An embedded resource is a file that is compiled into your executable. So, you want to add a file to your project to be included when you compile your application, is that correct And, are you using Visual Studio

  Hello All.

  mcnamaragio:

  I'm not sure I understand what you're trying to accomplish. An .mp3 file IS a resource. You can add audio resources to a project using the Resources editor in Visual Studio.

  HTH.

  Did you try File.Copy(filename, @".\filename.mp3");

  This will copy the file to the bin/Debug folder.

  You can also copy it to your Application.StartupPath or a folder within this directory.

  I do not know how to add to resources programmatically, but you could also store the file path in Settings.

  Does this help

  I want to embed an mp3 file into an exe which is to be compiled by my application using csharpcodeprovider. The exe compiled by csharpcodeprovider should be able to extract the embedded mp3 file to disk
