Hi all,

When you embed a reosurce into a .NET assembly using Visual Studio, it is prefixed with the assembly name. However, assemblies can have embedded resources that are not assembly-name-prefixed. The only way I can see to do this is to disassemble the assembly using ildasm, then re-assemble it, adding the new resource -- which works, but... do I really need to finish that sentence?

(Desktop .NET Framework 3.5, VS 2008 SP1, C#, Win7 Enterprise x64)

Thanks, All the best, Robert
