I just added an image resource to my assembly via the Resources tab in the project properties of my project. The resource is a PNG image. Now when I load the assembly, I'm getting the error shown below. This is occurring in VS 2010.
System.Resources.MissingManifestResourceException: Could not find any resources
appropriate for the specified culture or the neutral culture.
Anyone know what is causing this?
Thanks very much.
Did you set the resource to be embedded?
Check the path in the project explorer within VS, suppose you have this path (from the root of the project), root -> resources -> foobar.png, then the full resource path would be [namespace of your project] followed by resources.foobar.png, for example, suppose the namespace is 'foobar' then it would be "foobar.resources.foobar.png"

It's a little bit complicated.I got a .net class library project form someone else and added it in my solution referenced by a asp.net mvc project. For some reason I changed the project name form "abc" to "xyz" and also Assembly name, Default namespace name in project properties page. I could build the solution and get the xyz.dll in the bin folder.
The problem is I can't run the web application because of the error "Compiler Error Message: CS0433:". I looked into the folder "C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\Temporary ASP.NET Files\root\" and found out the abc.dll still there and I checked the file detail information on properties page. The file description and product name are the same xyz, but the original filename is still abc.dll. I really don't know what's going on here.
I wish some could help me out,Thanks in advance.
You have to delete abc.dll from the root directory and then recheck it. Because IIS configure with this file and after changing it will not rebuild with this files as well.
Did you rename it in a file explorer or using Visual studio? Check the .csproj file and the .sln file and make sure all references in there reflect the new names. Also, check your dependencies and references to make sure they point at the new dll, and not the old one
You probably have figure it out but for other peoples who might search for the solution.
Right click on your solution or project file -> Click on properties -> And then there is first tab with name application Click on that. You will find two text box one for Assembly Name (Change this to xyz).
see attached image.properties dialogue box
I have two assemblies in my application one is where all the code is, the other holds all the images and extra resource files. It was working just fine until I added new images to the resource dll. Now it keeps coming up with MissingManifestResourceException and saying it can't find certain images. All my images are being compiled as Resources.
Fix this problem as right-click the Resources.resx file in the Solution Explorer and click Run Custom Tool. This re-generates the auto-generated Resources.Designer.cs file.
If the .resx file was added to the project manually, the Custom Tool property of the file must be set to "ResXFileCodeGenerator".
Rebuilt that project and then run it
Using Visual Studio 2012, I am debugging a program to find out why loading a resource file using System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetManifestResourceStream isn't working. The file is being copied to the project's bin folder correctly - but invoking System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location is reporting that the program is not running from there - it is running from C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\Temporary ASP.NET Files\root\c37f9465\2be54367\assembly\dl3\c92e18ea\e852a1ef_ce6ad001.
The program is a web service, and the error occurs in a DLL called ConnectSystem.DLL (another project in the same solution), and it is this file that resides in the Microsoft.NET folder.
If this is because of Dynamic ASP.NET Compilation, which looks like the best explanation, can anyone think of a way I can incorporate my configuration file please?
The resources you are trying to load shouldn't be next to the assembly, it should be compiled into it. GetManifestResourceStream only reads resources from the assemblies themselves.
You can try to set the build action of the resource to Embedded Resource, and the file should end up in your assembly. The name may vary, usually it has the namespace as prefix. You could use Reflector to see what the actual name is.
I have multiple projects in a solution and I'd like them all to share one pool of graphics resources. I've tried this:
1 - Created project1, made its resource file public, added some graphics to it.
2 - Created project2, Alt+dragged Resources.resx from project1\Properties to project2 (not in the Properties folder)
3 - Add reference in project2 to project1
So, now all the images from project1 are available in project2. So far, so good. I can use them at design time just fine.
But, when I want to access them at runtime, I try this (in project2)...
Image img = project1.Properties.Resources.image14;
And that crashes with a MissingManifestResourceException.
What am I doing wrong here? Is there a better way I could approach this? All I'm trying to do is maintain all my graphics in one place, so if I add a resource, it becomes available to all projects in the solution.
Just built an example following these steps:
Create a class library do hold the resources (Project 1)
Create the consumer project (Project 2)
Add a resource file (GlobalResources.resx) in the Project 1 and add a resource item Information
Change the BuildAction of the resource file to Embedded Resource
Change the Do not copy of the resource file to False
Check if the Custom Tool of the resource file is set to PublicResXFileCodeGenerator
Add a reference to the class library (Project 1) to the consumer project (Project2).
Add the resource namespace reference wherever you want to use it.
Finally it is working: GlobalResources.Information
It should be simple.
Edit:
You are concerned about using an external resource file inside the design time property editor. Sorry to inform that there is no standard support for this :(
However, if you think that the benefits are greater than the effort:
Issue with shared WinForms resources across projects in Visual Studio
How do I get the Windows Forms Designer to use resources from external assembly?
Hope it helps.
Choose the referenced file in your solution explorer, then properties, then see what the "copy to output" property looks like. I suspect it's not set to "Copy Always" or "Copy if Newer" of which either should be fine.
Once it's being copied, let's also check to see where it's being copied. Is the output path for that particular item the same as where the program ultimately expects? Is it being copied to the bin\Debug of the correct project?
Make sure it's being copied to the path where the MissingManifestResourceException says it's failed to find the resource.
Finally, given additional information in our comments, I would also suggest you verify the following:
culture the resources are targeting. Check spelling and capitalization.
any culture settings of your build xml or publish xml.
culture setting(s?) of your host system that's running this code.
I run QBSBM project in other system it is working. But not in mine.
I saw few links in Google. For there suggestion I did few changes like changing BuildAction set to Embedded resource and resource file. And Access Modifier is also set to Public (double click the .resx file to open the file and the Access Modifier is located along the top of the editor window).
Could not find any resources appropriate for the specified culture or the neutral culture.
Make sure Manufacturing.Images.resources was correctly embedded or linked into assembly QBSBM at compile time. Or that all the satellite assemblies required are loadable and fully signed.
Can any one give me suggestion how can i solve this error...
You shoud change your resource build action. In order to do that, on the solution explorer, go to the resource property pane and change the Build Action from content to Embedded Resource.
