Is there any way I can embed the images within my exe (as resource?)

  • 0

Is there any way I can embed the images within my exe (as resource?) and use it in generated HTML ?

Here are the requirements:

A. I want to show dynamic HTML content (e.g. using webBrowser control, VS 2008, VB .Net, winForm desktop application)

B. I want to generate the HTML on-the-fly using XML and XSL (file1.xml or file2.xml transformed by my.xsl)

C. The HTML may contain IMG tags (file1.gif and or file2.gif according to the xml+xsl transformation)

and here comes the complicated one:

D. All these files (file1.xml, file2.xml, my.xsl, file1.gif, file2.gif) should be embedded in one exe file.

I guess the XML and XSL can be embedded resources, and I can read them as stream, but what ways do I have to reference the image within the HTML ? 

<IMG src="???" />
  • I do not want to use absolute path and external files.
  • If the image files are resources, can I use relative path? Relative to what? (I can use BASE tag, and then what?)
  • Can I use stream as in email messages? If so, where can I find the format I need to use?

http://www.websiteoptimization.com/speed/tweak/inline-images/ are browser dependent.

  • What is the browser used by webBrowser control?
  • IE?

  • what version?

  • Does it matter if I use GIF or JPG or BMP (or any other image format) for the images?

  • Does it matter if I use mshtml library and not the regular webBrowser control? (currently I use http://www.itwriting.com/htmleditor/index.php )

  • Does it matter if I upgrade to VS 2010 ?

Thanks,

Atara
