Execute files included in Resource folder
- by Sumeet Pujari
In WPF application where I have included some files in resources, I want to execute them on a button click. How do I specify a path in Process.Start().
private void button1_Click_2(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
Process.Start("test.txt");
}
Or is there any other way?
private void button1_Click_2(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
string path = System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location) + @"\test.txt";
if (File.Exists(path))
{
Process.Start(new ProcessStartInfo(path));
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("No file found"+path);
}
I added a message box and it showed No files found. :(
EDIT:
I Tried to check the path after publishing and this what i got.
No File Found With a Path - C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Apps\2.0... test.txt
Before I published the Application I got a path which id
No File Found at ..project..\bin\Debug\test.txt which is obvious since my Resource file not included there its Under a Resource Folder and not Debug when i add a test file in debug it open without any problem.
Can someone Help throwing some light on this case.
EDIT:
I want to open a file from Resource directory @ C:\Users\Administrator\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Projects\FastFix\FastFix\Resources Which would be included in my project when i am going to publish it is going to run as a standalone application without installation.
