Hello,
I've just started to use NAnt and try to port
my applications to this build tool.
Everything works great besides one "small" thing ;-)))
Apps built by NAnt does not launch and I get some exceptions.
I know what is going on, I made quite long investigation
and the problem is that my application uses some images embedded in resources and dislay it in controls but those images are not
properly embedded in my application binary so it
can not find it.
Here is my buildfile (details are explained below the buildfile).:

</csc>
</target>
</project> #########################################################
In my Form1.cs I use images like this one:
// in class ctor this.pictureBox1.Image = new Bitmap(typeof(Form1), "customLogo.bmp");
I use <resgen> to compile Form1.resx in src directory:
<resgen todir="${build.dir}/bin">
<resources>
<include name="src/Form1.resx" />
</resources>
</resgen>Then I include the resource file generated. I'm not sure if I should to this using resource tag:
<resources prefix="" dynamicprefix="true"> <include name="Form1.resources" /> </resources>
or using <arg> declaration only like this:
<arg value="/resource:${build.dir}/bin/Form1.resources" /> <arg value="/resource:customLogo.bmp,customLogo.bmp" /> <arg value="/resource:App.ico,App.ico" />
Should I also include App.ico and customLogo.bmp as <resources> childs (includes) ?
I browsed through the nant-users archives and I read all resources related posts till year 2003 ;-))) and I didn't find any helpful information. I tested all hints I found but they didn't help me.
My question is:
How to embed imaged in the app (exe) resources just like I do it using VS .NET?
I use NAnt today nightly build.
