Request help with getting sound from resources

[coogison]

Hello, i wrote small unit which allows me to create textures, sounds and fonts i am using in my small application.

Fonts and Images working fine like this examples (its not the best way probably, but it works

    public static class Constants
    {
        // fonts
        public static Font textFont = GetFont("frquad");  

        public static Font GetFont(String AResourceName)
        {
            byte[] bytes = (byte[])Properties.Resources.ResourceManager.GetObject(AResourceName);
            MemoryStream str = new MemoryStream();
            BinaryWriter writer = new BinaryWriter(str);
            writer.Write(bytes);
            str.Position = 0;
            return new Font(str);
        }
    }

.... but i cant load sound in a similar way. All the time i failed creating SoundBuffer from stream which i want to load from resources.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks a lot,

coogison

For getting an input stream from an embedded resource, try this instead:

Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetManifestResourceStream(resourceName);

The name of your resource using this method may be different, however; there is another method called GetManifestResourceNames() which you can use while debugging if you run into any problems.

Can be related to this: https://github.com/SFML/SFML.Net/pull/21
A crappy workaround would be to save that stream to temporary file and pass the filename instead.

The method I posted seems to work with Visual C# .NET, but keep in mind that it won't necessarily work on other platforms (I haven't even looked at the Mono APIs yet).

Thank yuo all for pointing me to the right direction. But problem was somewhere else.

I didnt copy all sounds dll-s into application directory, and because i encountered this strange behaviour during application initalization it was a bit ungly to solve it out. (hidden error message)

No problem, glad that you got it figured out!
