Hi Sencsk,

The code you're using seems to be correct. You should check if you can load the embedded resource and also check if the name of the resource is the identical to the name you're trying to use to load it. If there is a deviation, it will return null when you tried to load the resource.

C#

var loadAssembly = Assembly.LoadFrom("Test.Module.dll");
string[] names = loadAssembly.GetType().Assembly.GetManifestResourceNames();

iterate through names and see what differs.

Hope this helps :)

C#

rep.LoadLayout(Assembly.LoadFrom("Test.Module.dll").ManifestModule.Assembly.GetManifestResourceStream(
          "Test.Module.EmbeddedFiles." + reportName + ".txt"));
