I have a PPC2003 project in VS2005. I have added a resource file (SomeResources.resx) to the project. I can access the test string I have in the file by using My.Resources.SomeResources.MyTestString (I am using the default Custom Tool Name that VS provides).
When the Build Action property of the is set to Embedded Resource, the application references the MyTestString successfully.
But I do not want to embed the file, so that it's string values can be modified after it has been deployed/installed.
I, therefore, changed the Build Action to Content, so that the file gets copied out to the device for potential future manipulation. When I call MyTestString I get the following error:
MissingManifestResourceException Stack Trace: at System.Resources.ResourceManager.InternalGetResourceSet() at System.Resources.ResourceManager.InternalGetResourceSet() at System.Resources.ResourceManager.InternalGetResourceSet() at System.Resources.ResourceManager.GetString() at MyApp.My.Resources.SomeResources.get_MyTestString() at MyApp.fMain.fMain_Load() at System.Windows.Forms.Form.OnLoad() at System.Windows.Forms.Form._SetVisibleNotify() at System.Windows.Forms.Control.set_Visible() at System.Windows.Forms.Application.Run() at MyApp.fMain.Main()
As the file is not embedded, do I maybe need to manually load it first? If so, how? Any other ideas? Is it not possible to do what I'm after achieving and should I just create my own XML file/reader?
Resources (resx files) are specifically designed to be compiled into the application. If you want it to be an editable content file on the target, then you have to approach it differently and use something like an XML file and wrap that with accessors (akin to the Configuration namespace stuff in the full framework).

I'm trying to run a full ADTF configuration from my own C++ command-line application using the ADTF SDK. ADTF version: 2.9.1 (pretty old).
Here's what I have (want) to do:
Load manifest file
Load globals-xml
Load config-xml
2 & 3 are done, using the session-manager service - see ISessionManager interface: https://support.digitalwerk.net/adtf/v2/adtf_sdk_html_docs/classadtf_1_1_i_session_manager.html , functions LoadGlobalsFromFile & LoadConfigFromFile.
The problem is that I don't know how to do point 1: currently, instead of loading a manifest, I manually load the list of services myself using _runtime->RegisterPlugin, _runtime->CreateInstance and _runtime->RegisterObject.
What I've managed to do is to load only the namespace service and use the INamespace interface which has a method for loading manifest files: https://support.digitalwerk.net/adtf/v2/adtf_sdk_html_docs/classadtf_1_1_i_namespace.html - see ImportFile with ui32ImportFlags = CF_IMPORT_MANIFEST.
But this only loads the manifest settings into the namespace, it doesn't actually instantiate the services. I could do it manually, by:
Do _runtime->RegisterPlugin for every url under
root/plugins/ in the namespace
Do _runtime->CreateInstance for every objectid under
root/services/ in the namespace
But I want this to be more robust and I'm hoping there's already a service that handles the populated namespace subsequently and does these actions. Is there such a service?
Note: if you know how this could be done in ADTF3 that might also be of help for me, so don't hesitate to answer/comment
UPDATE
See "Flow of the system" on this page: https://support.digitalwerk.net/adtf/v2/adtf_sdk_html_docs/page_service_layer.html
Apparently the runtime instance itself handles the manifest file (see run-levels shutdown & kernel) but I don't know how I'm supposed to tell it where it is.
I've tried setting the command-line arguments to be count = 2 and the 2nd = manifest file path when instantiating cRuntime. It doesn't work :).
In ADTF3 you can just use the supplied cADTFSystem class to initiate an ADTF system and then use the ISessionManager interface to load a session of your choice.
Found the answer, not exactly what I expected though. I tried debugging adtf_runtime.exe to find out what arguments it passes to cRuntime.
The result is indeed similar to what I've suspected (and actually tried):
arg1 = adtf_runtime.exe (argv[0] in adtf_runtime)
arg2 = full path to manifest file (e.g. $(ADTF_DIR)\bin\adtf_devenv.manifest)
arg3 = basename of manifest file, without extension (e.g. "adtf_devenv")
While this suggested that cRuntime indeed is responsible with loading and handling the manifest, it turned out to be NOT quite so, passing the same arguments to it did not do the job. The answer came when I noticed that adtf_runtime.exe was actually using an extension of cRuntime called cRuntimeEx which is NOT part of the SDK (at least I haven't found it).
This class IS among the exported symbols of the ADTF SDK library, i.e. a "dumpbin /symbols adtfsdk_290.lib" renders at some point:
public: __cdecl adtf::cRuntimeEx::cRuntimeEx(int,char const * *
const,class ucom::IException * *)
but it is NOT part of the SDK (you won't find a header file defining it).
Among its methods you'll also find this:
protected: long __cdecl adtf::cRuntimeEx::LoadManifest(class adtf_util::cString const &,class std::set,class std::allocator > *,class ucom::IException * *)
Voila. And thus, unfortunately, I cannot achieve what I wanted in a robust fashion. :)
I ended up manually implementing the manifest-loading logic, since cRuntimeEx is not made available within the SDK. Something along these lines:
Use a cDOM instance to load the manifest file
Call FindNodes("/adtf:manifest/environment/variable") to find the environment-variables that need to be set and set them using "cSystem::SetEnvVariable"
Call FindNodes("/adtf:manifest/dependencies/platform") to find library dependencies and use cDynamicLinkage::Load to load the libraries that target the current platform (win32/linux)
Call FindNodes("/adtf:manifest/plugins/plugin") to find the services to be loaded using _runtime->RegisterPlugin (you may also handle "optional" attribute)
Call FindNodes("/adtf:manifest/services/service") to find the services that need to be created using _runtime->CreateInstance and _runtime->RegisterObject (you may also handle "optional" attribute)
And, finally, call FindNodes("/adtf:manifest/manifests/manifest") to (recursively) load child-manifests (you may also handle "optional" attribute)
The only thing you need to do is start the adtf launcher with the meta files (manifest. This works for adtf 2 as well as for adtf 3. It can be done (console) application. If you also want to do a little bit more in adtf 3, you can use adtf control instead of adtf launcher with its scripting interface (see the scripts under examples)
I am going to make an app. But i am stuck in one issue. I am unable to find in which file of nextcloud, the codes are available which uploads file.
i want to find the file in which file uploading codes are situated.
I am going to make an app which will make a duplicate of uploaded file and will save in same directory with slightly changed name.
The public API for handling files lives in the \OCP\Files namespace, the implementation is in the \OC\Files namespace (https://github.com/nextcloud/server/tree/master/lib/private/Files).
Rather than modifying this code you should use the hooks functionality (never use classes or functions in the \OC\* namespace!): https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/12/developer_manual/app/hooks.html. This way you can execute your own code when a file is created or updated etc.
I guess you need the postWrite hook. Some sample code (untested):
\OC::$server->getRootFolder()->listen('\OC\Files', 'postWrite', function(\OCP\Files\Node $node) {
$node->copy('my/path');
});
I need to access the location of the change log file so that I can get the URL of other files that are in the same directory from a custom task.
The Change interface has a setter for the ChangeSet object which can be used to get the change log file, but the CustomChangeTask interface does not have this method.
From my understanding I need to use CustomChangeTask as my task does not generate SQL.
This is my question. I have decided to implement AbstractChange. It works just fine doing that and returning an empty array of SqlStatements.
For a Windows 8 application in C#/XAML I need to access a specific ressource file. In WP7 I used resx file and now it seems that we need to use resw file. It's not a language resource file.
My file is called ConfigResources.resw, it just contains one key : "ConfigFile" and a value : a string.
How can I access it from my code? I tried this without any luck:
var storedConfigFile = Application.Current.Resources["ConfigResources"];
Then how can I edit the value of the key inside from my code?
Thank you
I created a project on CodePlex recently called ResW File Code Generator that simplifies using localized resources in code in windows store app project. It's a custom tool that automatically generates and updates a helper class similar to what ResX files used in the full version of .NET
According to here, you need to use the Windows.ApplicationModel.Resources.ResourceLoader and the Windows.ApplicationModel.Resources.Core namespace provide interaction with resw files.
It should look something like this:
var loader = new Windows.ApplicationModel.Resources.ResourceLoader();
var text = loader.GetString("Farewell");
Alternately, if you're creating a cross-platform library you could also do it using the System.Resources.ResourceManager:
Although the System.Resources.ResourceManager class is included in the
.NET for Windows Store apps, we do not recommend its use. Use
ResourceManager only in libraries that are developed as Portable Class
Library projects and that target multiple platforms.
Like this from here:
ResourceManager rm = new ResourceManager("Strings", typeof(Example).Assembly);
string timeString = rm.GetString("TimeHeader");
There is a sample that shows the different ways to read the resources in WinRT apps (i.e. from resw files).
my solution has multiple projects and in one of them I have the code to get the embedded resource (an xml file) from another project. All this works fine when all the projects are seperate. However when all the class libraries are embedded into a single dll, the code to get the resource file does not work i.e. it cannot get the emebedded resource.
I was wondering if the references to the emebedded resource get mixed up when they are combined together in a single dll??
I use the method Assembly.GetCallingAssembly().GetManifestResourceStream("namespace..filename");
I would not use Assembly.GetCallingAssembly(). I would use typeof(SomeClassNextToXmlFile).Assembly that way if you are calling the dll with the embedded resource from a exe file it won't go looking in the exe for the resource. Also you may want to try using Reflector and make sure the resource you are looking for is where you think it is.
