It depends on what do you mean by resource. Is it a resource embedded in an executable module or not? And why doing so?

Solution 1

Put it in the common app data area, using Environment.GetFolder to get a path that all your apps can see.

is it possible to pass xml file path at runtime ? i created a library to manipulate xml but i am not able to use the the library in other project throughing error "An object reference is required for the non-static field, method, or property"
my c# code for library:-

public class Exam_XML
{
string docurl=null;

public string xml_path {
get { return docurl; }
set { docurl = value; }
}

#region EXAM

public static List<exam> GetExam()
{
try
{
XDocument data = XDocument.Load(docurl);
return (from exm in data.Descendants("test_details")
orderby (int)exm.Attribute("id")
select new Exam
{
examID = Convert.ToInt32(exm.Attribute("id").Value),
examNME = (string)exm.Attribute("name").Value,
examTME = Convert.ToInt32(exm.Attribute("time").Value),
examMRK = Convert.ToInt32(exm.Attribute("marks").Value),
examDifficulty = Convert.ToInt32(exm.Attribute("difficulty").Value)
}).ToList();
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
throw new ArgumentException(ex.Data+"\n"+ex.Message);
}
}

The error means what it says. You can't access docurl because the method is static, and the property is not. This has nothing to do with what you're asking. No, don't try to pass a path between apps, do what I told you to do.
