I am developing a WinForm application and I have some embedded resources (the graphic layout of the form). The problem is that when I start the application on my machine it runs perfectly, but if I pass it on another pc it may or may not work. On the last computer I tried (Windows 7 64bit, .NET 4.0 installed) it blocked when I tried to access resources. Here is the code which blocks the app, and below there is the full exception thrown.
//Note: notifierName is a string passed as an argument
_icon = new NotifyIcon
{
Text = notifierName,
Icon = SystemIcons.Application,//Properties.Resources.Tray,
Visible = true
};
try
{
_icon.Icon = Properties.Resources.Tray;
}
catch (Exception e)
{
Logger.WriteLog(e.ToString());
}
After tracking down what was causing the exception, I tried to set all resources to "embedded resources", the .exe was doubled in size (so the images were actually saved in there) but the same error occurred. I think I'm missing something about how resources work, because passing the same exe on another machine isn't causing all these troubles. Thanks for your help.
