How can I extract a file from an embedded resource and save it to disk?
I’d suggest doing it easier. I assume that the resource exists and the file is writable (this might be an issue if we’re speaking about system directories). 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); } } }
