[Solved] Writing Resources To Disk

Writing Resources To Disk

Hi mpgh!
I would like to know how to extract some files in the disk C:\ , previously uploaded in the resources of the program.

(Sorry for my bad english, i dont know some words then i use google translater and it's not really good...)

Pls help me!

Code:

My.Computer.FileSystem.WriteAllBytes("C:\Filename.extension",My.Resources.MyResourceName,False)

Replace first parameter with the name of the file you want it to be saved into and replace the second parameter with the name of your resource.

Shouldn't you check first if the file exists before you eventually replace it?

Code:

	If My.Computer.FileSystem.FileExists("C:\Filename.extension") Then
           	MsgBox("File exists")
        Else
            Dim myFile As Object = My.Resources.Filename
        		IO.File.WriteAllBytes("C:\Filename.extension", myFile)
        End If

Thanks, i test it.
