Question

I am using Visual C# 2010 Express. I would like to put .dotx or Word Template files into the Resources folder of my application and when it is installed, output the files to a different directory preferably C://Myfolder/. I couldn’t find anything about it here. Are there any ways to solve this?

Answer 1

Click on Resources (in “Properties”), and then on the arrow next to “strings” and choose “files”.

Then drag the file in and name it. then use:

Properties.Resources.fileName;

which will be a byte[], and save it using:

File.WriteAllBytes(Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.UserProfile) + @"\filename", Properties.Resources.fileName);
