Can't Find References For FEZ Cobra Resources.GetBytes and Resources.BinaryResources.xxxxx

Ok, UNCLE!

I can’t seem to find the references for Resources.GetBytes or Resources.BinaryResource anywhere for my FEZ Cobra. I see all kinds of examples referencing these two methods, but have not found a name space or reference for them. I’ve included the following name spaces:

using System.IO;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading;

using Microsoft.SPOT;
using Microsoft.SPOT.Hardware;
using Microsoft.SPOT.Input;
using Microsoft.SPOT.IO;
using Microsoft.SPOT.Net.NetworkInformation;
using Microsoft.SPOT.Presentation;
using Microsoft.SPOT.Presentation.Controls;
using Microsoft.SPOT.Presentation.Media;
using Microsoft.SPOT.Touch;
using System;

using FastloadMedia.NETMF;
using FastloadMedia.NETMF.Hardware;
using FastloadMedia.NETMF.Net.Http;
//using FastloadMedia.NETMF.Crypto;

using GHIElectronics.NETMF.FEZ;
using GHIElectronics.NETMF.Hardware;
using GHIElectronics.NETMF.Native;

And all associated references. But nothing works. Where am I missing the boat?

Pretty sure its under .Native?

RLP class.

@ csailor

These methods are generated depending on the types of resources you have.

I’ve included BMP resources so I can load them and VS cannot find any references.

You don’t need to add a reference or a namespace as long as the namespace in your main Program class and in your Resource class match.

Are you getting compiler errors?

csailor · February 7, 2012, 7:45pm

Yes, I;m getting the two following errors:

Error 1 ‘FEZ_Cobra_Web_Server.Resources’ does not contain a definition for ‘GetBytes’
Error 2 ‘FEZ_Cobra_Web_Server.Resources’ does not contain a definition for ‘BinaryResources’

I can’t seem to find the definitions

You need to add a binary resource using Resource editor. VS will generate the missing code. I believe there is a whole section in the beginners guide that has more details on that.

csailor · February 7, 2012, 7:53pm

I’ve added several BMP image files to the resource editor.

jasdev · February 7, 2012, 7:55pm

Look in your Resources.Designer.cs file.

Architect · February 7, 2012, 7:59pm

Are trying some code example? BMP files are treated differently. Create something like “test.bin” and try to add it.
