hubFS: THE place for F#

When I try to embed resources. I found the samples101 in the fsharp directory.
The sample add .resx file to itself. Compile it.
The .exe file size is 323KB. And then Open it using Reflector I found that there is seven resources in it:


But if I use the other method: --resource "SampleForm.resources" Command-Line.
The file size is 119KB. There is one resource only in Reflector:



Is there any one have the save issue???

FSharp-1.9.4.17   .NET 3.5   Server2k8

I have the same issue with 1.9.4.19.  When I included a images.resx in the file, it get compiled and included in the dll as images.resources 7 times according to .NET Reflector.  Can you briefly explain the process for the other method?

Once I actually get it in the assembly, how do I load it?  Right now, I'm trying to load an image and set it as the form icon like so:

    let rm = new ResourceManager("images", System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly())
    let imageList = new ImageList()
    imageList.ImageStream <- ((rm.GetObject("imageList.ImageStream")) :?> ImageListStreamer) // p176
    let images = imageList.Images
    printfn "# of images: %d" images.Count
    let bitmap = images.[0] :?> Bitmap
    let icon = Icon.FromHandle(bitmap.GetHicon())
    form.Icon <- icon

but it isn't working. Any ideas?

Thanks for reporting this issue.

For now, please use "--resource" (Chris - you compile the resource using resgen.exe, part of the .NET Framework SDK).

The ability to pass a .resx file on the command line is likely to be deprecated in a future release in favour of "doing it properly" with by using tools such as MSBuild.

Kind regards
