SaveEmbeddedResource

Introduction

The SaveEmbeddedResource method can be used to save a file which has been compiled as an EmeddedResource to disk. This method is useful for PC tools, especially Gum plugins.

Code Example

The following will save the redball.bmp image to the given target directory assuming it exists in the current assembly:

var assembly = typeof(Game1).Assembly;
string nameOfResource = "GameNamespace.Folder.Subfolder.redball.bmp";
string locationOnDisk = "C:/Folder/redball.bmp";
FileManager.SaveEmbeddedResource(
    assembly, 
    nameOfResource,
    locationOnDisk);
