[Solved] Error setting ToolsFile.xml as an embedded resource

[Andrew Benson]

I'm getting the following error in when I try to set the toolsfile as an embedded resource. The resource can be accessed by requesting the URL directly, so I know I have that configured correctly.

Below is the error message I'm getting. Any thoughts?

Edit: The embedded resource is located in an assembly with the server control that is loading the embedded resource:

• A web site uses a custom server control with an encapsulated radeditor
• The server control is contained in separate assembly
• The server control sets the ToolsFile property to using the GetWebResource method

Heres's the ref. in assemblyinfo.vb:

 

<Assembly: WebResource(

"[AssemblyName].FullToolsFile.xml", "text/xml")>

 

I've tried creating the toolsfile.xml with and without the XML declaration. There is no difference in the error.
 

Server Error in '/Support.SyscomGM.com' Application.

Never mind. I resolved the issue by using the LoadToolsFile method after retrieving the XML web resource via a WebRequest.
