  "Page.ClientScript.GetWebResourceUrl" does not work

  Feb 29, 2008 05:26 PM|LINK

  Hi all,

  I'm trying to use an Embedded Resource Image in my custom Control, but it does not work.

  Steps I done:

  1) Create an Folder inside the Project (Resources);
  2) Add the Image "test.gif";
  3) Change the attribute "Build Action" to "Embedded Resource" on File Property Tab;
  4) Add, on AssemblyInfo.vb: <Assembly: WebResource("<My Namespace>.Resources.test.gif", "image/gif", PerformSubstitution:=True)>;
  5) On CreateChildControl I add: 

  (...)
  Dim img as new Image
  img.ImageUrl = Me.Page.ClientScript.GetWebResourceUrl(Me.GetType(), "<My Namespace>.Resources.test.gif")
  (...)
  Me.controls.add(img)
  

  I already tried another stuffs, clean my browser cache and other suggestions. The <IMG ... /> tag appears on page source, but the image does not appear.
  

  What I'm doing wrong?

  Thanks!

  Hi,

  From your description, it seems that you are unable to load the embedded resource ,right?

  Could you please make sure that the namespace is correct? Or if the resource matches DefaultNamespace.Filename.Extension. Besides, try to follow the article below:

  Thanks.

  Hi Michael,

  The Namespace is exactly the same (with lower and upper case).
  

  Before I post this question, I already had seem some articles, including you mentioned above.

  I tried to change the Namespace with all possible combinations, but it wont work.
  

  My project (VB), was the Namespace, e.g. "MyNameSpace.MyProject". I already try to use (in AssemblyInfo.vb and MyCustomControl):

  • MyNameSpace.MyProject.Resources.test.gif
  • MyNameSpace.MyProject.test.gif
    
  • MyProject.Resources.test.gif
  • MyProject.test.gif
    
  • Resources.test.gif 
  • test.gif

   I saw your post, and I had the same problem but figured it out.  Part namespace and part GetType().  The namespace is the exact name you typed in the project application tab, root namespace. properties box.

  I had to dump the web resource stuff and folder Resource, and place all the images in the project regular style, then tag them as embedded resources.

  Hope it helps, It's frustrating trying to figure it out.  All the different examples become confusing. 

  In the assembly info I placed
  

  <Assembly: System.Web.UI.WebResource("ICE5Software.teamRoster.PlayAudioButton.gif", "image/gif")>
  
  

  Protected Overrides Sub Render()
  
  
           Dim cs As ClientScriptManager = Me.Page.ClientScript
           Dim rsType As Type = Me.GetType()
  
  
      	ibSoundLink = New ImageButton
      	ibSoundLink.ImageUrl = cs.GetWebResourceUrl(rsType, "ICE5Software.teamRoster.PlayAudioButton.gif")
      	ibSoundLink.AlternateText = "Hover to play introduction"
      	ibSoundLink.Attributes.Add("onmouseover", "soundManager._writeDebug('<b>Demo 1a</b>'); soundManager.play('mySound0','/teamRoster/SoundFiles/CRASH_1.mp3');")
     	ibSoundLink.CausesValidation = False
  
  
      	ibSoundLink.OnClientClick = "soundManager._writeDebug('<b>Demo 1a</b>'); soundManager.play('mySound0','" & [SoundSource] & "');"
      	Controls.Add(ibSoundLink)
      	ibSoundLink.RenderControl(writer)
  
  
      End Sub

  Well, I think that this question is unsolved. To release any doubts, I do this, but the images didn't appear.

  I already create a new Project, with an resource image and one page. The problem is the same. 

  The resource image really works?

  I could not get the resource image to work.  I had to place the images in the root folder, or the same place the web custom control is, an change the attribute again to embeded resource.  Then I had to delete the resources that were registered so that the images are just file taged embedded content.

   

  Post your code if you want to make it work.

  I did some new tests and discover that my problem is VB. Unfortunately, company I work uses only VB.

  I just finish the "last" test with resources. I create 2 identical projects in VB and C#. Both have one image, marked as Embedded Resource, one AssemblyInfo with reference to the image embedded resource and one Class.

  • The VB Project has the Root Namespace "MyNamespace.ResourceTestVB"
  • The C# Project has the Default Namespace "MyNamespace.ResourceTestCS" 

  ---

  VB Class

  Imports System
  Imports System.Web.UI.WebControls
  
  Public Class MyCustomControl
      Inherits CompositeControl
  
      Protected Overrides Sub CreateChildControls()
          Dim img As New ImageButton
          img.ImageUrl = Me.Page.ClientScript.GetWebResourceUrl(Me.GetType(), "MyNamespace.ResourceTestVB.Resources.Sunset.jpg")
          Me.Controls.Add(New System.Web.UI.LiteralControl("'CustomControlVB':<br />"))
          Me.Controls.Add(img)
          MyBase.CreateChildControls()
      End Sub
  
  End Class

  ---

  C# Class

  using System;
  using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
  
  namespace MyNamespace.ResourceTest
  {
      public class MyCustomControl:System.Web.UI.WebControls.CompositeControl
      {
          protected override void CreateChildControls()
          {
              ImageButton img = new ImageButton();
              img.ImageUrl = this.Page.ClientScript.GetWebResourceUrl(this.GetType(), "MyNamespace.ResourceTestCS.Resources.Sunset.jpg");
              this.Controls.Add(new System.Web.UI.LiteralControl("'CustomControlCS':<br />"));
              this.Controls.Add(img);
  
              base.CreateChildControls();
          }
      }
  }

  Is VB a problematic language to use image (or others content) embedded resource?

  Another question that I didn't found answer: What the difference between Default (C#) and Root (VB) Namespaces?

  Thanks for all!!!
  Danilo

  Hum...

  According your examples and tests I had done, then I conclude that the images (or other resources) must be in project root. That's correct?

  All examples I tried, my images was in Resource folder in both VB and C# projects, but in C# it works. When I change (in VB) to root folder it works fine.
  

  Very strange! [^o)]
  

  I'll do more tests to try to find something else.

  Thank you very very much !!!!!! [:D]

  I have no clue why it did not work in the Resource Folder.  Mine is modeled from a CS example I found from MSDN.

  But you have to get it to work first, then you can take it to the next level.

  If someone wishes to elaborate on that, please feel free to post your suggestion or knowledge of proper use of the resource folder.

  Make it a great day!
