I am trying to get the byte array of an embedded resource. The file is compiled with CodeDom and "My.Resources.file" does not work like it does with a normal project. It gives me this error: 'Resources' is not a member of 'My'. I also tried two other ways to get the byte array but couldn't get the ResourceManager to work. How do I do this?

The My class is generated by the Visual Studio IDE but not when using CodeDom
You could generate the class yourself, try to view the code using ILSpy or you could use reflection:
Imports System.Reflection

Assembly me = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly()
Stream resourceStream = me.GetManifestResourceStream("file")

You could then use a binary reader or a memory stream to convert the stream to a byte array

The ResourceManager class can accomplish what you need.

I tried this. How do I find the name of the resource file? System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly.GetManifestResourceNames shows the embedded resources but did not display the resource file.

This solution worked. I used a memory stream to convert to a byte array.
