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

Are you trying to protect your source code? file itself? Your question is not to clear.

I think you can do it using resource files. Maybe this will help http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...=vs.85%29.aspx

I've added it as a reference but how do I use it/run it?

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.

It's probaly gonna be a .bat or .exe

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
