  • Reference

Definition

Namespace:
System.Reflection.Emit
Assembly:
mscorlib.dll

Defines a standalone managed resource for this assembly.

Overloads

DefineResource(String, String, String)

Defines a standalone managed resource for this assembly with the default public resource attribute.
DefineResource(String, String, String, ResourceAttributes)

Defines a standalone managed resource for this assembly. Attributes can be specified for the managed resource.

DefineResource(String, String, String)

Defines a standalone managed resource for this assembly with the default public resource attribute.

public:
 System::Resources::IResourceWriter ^ DefineResource(System::String ^ name, System::String ^ description, System::String ^ fileName);
public System.Resources.IResourceWriter DefineResource (string name, string description, string fileName);
member this.DefineResource : string * string * string -> System.Resources.IResourceWriter
Public Function DefineResource (name As String, description As String, fileName As String) As IResourceWriter

Parameters

name
String

The logical name of the resource.

description
String

A textual description of the resource.

fileName
String

The physical file name (.resources file) to which the logical name is mapped. This should not include a path.

Returns

IResourceWriter

A ResourceWriter object for the specified resource.

Exceptions

ArgumentException

name has been previously defined.

-or-

There is another file in the assembly named fileName.

-or-

The length of name is zero.

-or-

The length of fileName is zero.

-or-

fileName includes a path.

ArgumentNullException

name or fileName is null.

SecurityException

The caller does not have the required permission.

Examples

The following example uses the DefineResource method to get a resource writer. The example uses the resource writer to add three resource strings.

using namespace System;
using namespace System::Threading;
using namespace System::Reflection;
using namespace System::Reflection::Emit;
using namespace System::Resources;

/*
   The following program demonstrates the 'DefineResource' and 'DefineVersionInfoResource' 
   methods of 'AssemblyBuilder' class. It builds an assembly and a resource file at runtime.
   The unmanaged version information like product, product version, Company, Copyright, 
   trademark are defined with 'DefineVersionInfoResource' method.

Remarks

Fine grain resources can be added with the returned ResourceWriter by calling AddResource.

fileName should not be the same as that of any other persistable module, stand-alone managed resource, or the stand-alone manifest file.

The runtime calls the Close method when the dynamic assembly is saved.

Note

Starting with the .NET Framework 2.0 Service Pack 1, this member no longer requires ReflectionPermission with the ReflectionPermissionFlag.ReflectionEmit flag. (See Security Issues in Reflection Emit.) To use this functionality, your application should target the .NET Framework 3.5 or later.

Applies to

DefineResource(String, String, String, ResourceAttributes)

Defines a standalone managed resource for this assembly. Attributes can be specified for the managed resource.

public:
 System::Resources::IResourceWriter ^ DefineResource(System::String ^ name, System::String ^ description, System::String ^ fileName, System::Reflection::ResourceAttributes attribute);
public System.Resources.IResourceWriter DefineResource (string name, string description, string fileName, System.Reflection.ResourceAttributes attribute);
member this.DefineResource : string * string * string * System.Reflection.ResourceAttributes -> System.Resources.IResourceWriter
Public Function DefineResource (name As String, description As String, fileName As String, attribute As ResourceAttributes) As IResourceWriter

Parameters

name
String

The logical name of the resource.

description
String

A textual description of the resource.

fileName
String

The physical file name (.resources file) to which the logical name is mapped. This should not include a path.

attribute
ResourceAttributes

The resource attributes.

Returns

IResourceWriter

A ResourceWriter object for the specified resource.

Exceptions

ArgumentException

name has been previously defined or if there is another file in the assembly named fileName.

-or-

The length of name is zero.

-or-

The length of fileName is zero.

-or-

fileName includes a path.
