Include and run a script within a program
Posted by Sammyboy99, 02-18-2011, 06:53 PM So I've made a program that executes a script the only problem is that I'm not sure on how to store the file? Like it will be in a zip so the person could extract to anywhere and they may not move the script with it. Is there a way I could put the script in the program. I'm coding in VB.net

Posted by jack369, 02-19-2011, 10:07 PM I think you can do it using resource files. Maybe this will help http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...=vs.85%29.aspx
Posted by Sammyboy99, 02-20-2011, 05:58 AM I've added it as a reference but how do I use it/run it?
Posted by jack369, 02-20-2011, 12:32 PM What kind of script is it? I am not familiar with visual basic but I think you need to use the LoadResData function to get the resource.

Posted by jack369, 02-21-2011, 01:18 PM The easiest way I can think of doing it is by creating a temporary file and running that. Something like this except in Visual Basic
