Copying 2 files from Resources

[Jalouly]

hi all, this is my first post here, i stored 2 files in my application resources in VB.NET and i want to copy these 2 files to a location using a folder dialog i tried this code but it didn't work

 

If FolderBrowserDialog1.ShowDialog = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK Then
           File.Copy(My.Resources.MyFile, FolderBrowserDialog1.SelectedPath)

 

any code i can try?

 

Regards.

IIRC File.Copy takes a file name as a string and the resource is treated as a stream, you can't just use the two things interchangeably.

 

You would need to open the resource as a stream and copy the contents to the destination.
