[yashar]

Hi All.

But The problem is here! when run project in Line :

I get this error msg :

[COLOR=#000000]An unhandled exception of type [/COLOR][COLOR=#808080]'System.ArgumentNullException' occurred in WindowsApplication1.exe[/COLOR]

Where is problem?
Is there any other way to attach resource and receive that on other exe?
In this one i dont know the resource attach with what name and what kind!
I want just some txt and do my condition by that for example attach 'Resource1="true"' and i will check Resource1 if is "true"!

Also tried using mono.cecil bu could not do any thing good!


thank you best regards.
