I am trying to set a stream equal to the text content of an embedded resource in my ASP.NET Core project. However, when debugging, the stream is continuously being set to null, and I assume that this is because of the fact that it cannot find this embedded resource to begin with.
I have set the file as an embedded resource by going to Properties > Build Action > Embedded Resource. And then I have also edited the projects .csproj
file to include an item group which references the file to include:
<ItemGroup>
<EmbeddedResource Include="Assets/loyalty-template.html">
<LogicalName>Assets/Loyalty-template.html</LogicalName>
</EmbeddedResource>
</ItemGroup>
Where I set the stream:
string body;
using (var stream = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetManifestResourceStream("Assets/loyalty-template.html"))
{
TextReader tr = new StreamReader(stream);
body = tr.ReadToEnd();
}
Am I referencing the embedded file correctly in the GetManifestResourceStream
? Below is the file structure of my project where loyalty-template.html
is situated:
CodePudding user response:
Use the following path: [assembly name].[directory].[file name].
OR
Use GetManifestResourceNames with the file name and extension only:
string resourceName = assembly.GetManifestResourceNames()
.Single(str => str.EndsWith("loyalty-template.html"));
