Hi.

i'm trying to access the properties.resources in vs 2010 windows form to return a specif file, but whithout specifing the address as shown bellow

my code is this:

C#

public Stream Files(string resource, string extension)
       {
           switch (extension)
           {
              case "htm":
                   if ((String.Compare(resource, "index") != 0) && (String.Compare(resource, "login") != 0))
                   {
                       if (!Authenticate()) return null;
                   }
                   WebOperationContext.Current.OutgoingResponse.ContentType = "text/html";
                   break;
               case "js":
                   WebOperationContext.Current.OutgoingResponse.ContentType = "text/javascript";
                   break;
               case "css":
                   WebOperationContext.Current.OutgoingResponse.ContentType = "text/css";
                   break;
               case "png":
                   WebOperationContext.Current.OutgoingResponse.ContentType = "image/png";
                   break;
               case "ico":
                   WebOperationContext.Current.OutgoingResponse.ContentType = "image/x-icon";
                   break;
               default:
                   WebOperationContext.Current.OutgoingResponse.StatusCode = HttpStatusCode.UnsupportedMediaType;
                   return new MemoryStream(Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes("File type not supported"), false);
           }
           string fileName = String.Format(@"C:\Users\Lopez\Documents\visual studio 2010\Projects\Hello\Hello\Resources\{0}.{1}", resource, extension);
           return new FileStream(fileName, FileMode.Open);
       }

My problem is how to change this part

string fileName = String.Format(@"C:\Users\Lopez\Documents\visual studio 2010\Projects\Hello\Hello\Resources\{0}.{1}", resource, extension);

in something like

Hello.Properties.Resources.state

Are you trying to set the Path of the filename by adding a parameter in web.config and not write it up everytime?

i don't have that file, i'm working in a windows form that as implemented a web server (local). the htm files are being showed in a webbrowser component in the form.
my ideia was after the switch case, somehow call the file that i want without defining a specific address (my machine). the point is to run the application in other computers, for that i cannot have this path
