Hi there,

Few questions i'm not sure about.

1) Any examples of using embedded resources, ie. i need to show a .jpg image
in a picturebox and i need to play a .wav file as well, i have this working
with player.play(fs) but i'd like to do this with embedded resource.

2) I have a setup file which deploys all the relevant .cab files, however
i'm struggling to deploy any other files i might want to add.. ie.
readme.txt..etc

3) Is there no latest cf.net redistributable that is in one .cab file, or do
i have to create one .msi file for all my cabs and then get the user to run
the CF.Net ServicePack 3 msi afterwards? (seems a bit of a pain)

Thanks for the help.

Check the archives. This is answered a lot.

By "setup file" do you mean an INF, or a custom installer?

It is a pain and I've got no idea why MS hasn't rectified it. IMHO we
should be allowed to pull out all of the files in the CF cabs and put them
in our own for single-cab deployment.

Thanks Chris.

I shall have a look in the archives regarding embedded files.

Regarding adding files to the setup. Yes i've just used a standards .NET
Setup Project.

Can't believe MS expect us to deploy CF SP3 seperately. Unbelivable.

Thanks again
