Question: How do you obtain the resource stream from a costura'd dll? about costura HOT 4 CLOSED

You shouldn't need to use a Uri - just use the name directly when getting
the resource stream.

I am attemping to access one of the dll's that costura added to my wpf
app's resources.
However, despite the name being in the list provided by
Assembly.GetManifestResourceNames() I always get the exception that no
resource could be found.

This is the name I am trying to use:

String assemblyResourceName = String.Format( "costura.{0}.zip",
dllName.ToLower() )
Application.GetResourceStream(new Uri("pack://application:,,,/" +
assemblyResourceName))

The resource is there (according to Assembly.GetManifestResourceNames()),
just can't retrieve it. Anything else i need to do?

There doesnt seem to be any overload to just provide a String for the getresourcestream method, it requires a Uri ( at least in net 4, not idea if net 45 changed this)

Ah! You should use GetManifestResourceStream not GetResourceStream.
GetResourceStream is for loading a ResourceDictionary for Xaml.
