Counting photos inside drawable folder [duplicate] - xamarin

Question

In my solution a had a folder with a few files. All this files have the Build Action "Embedded Resource".
With this code I can get a file:
assembly.GetManifestResourceStream(assembly.GetName().Name + ".Folder.File.txt");
But is there any way to get all *.txt files in this folder? A list of names or a method to iterate through them all?

Answer 1

You could check out
assembly.GetManifestResourceNames()
which returns an array of strings of all the resources contained. You could then filter that list to find all your *.txt files stored as embedded resources.
See MSDN docs for GetManifestResourceNames for details.

Answer 2

Try this, returns an array with all .txt files inside Folder directory.
private string[] GetAllTxt()
{
var executingAssembly = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly();
string folderName = string.Format("{0}.Resources.Folder", executingAssembly.GetName().Name);
return executingAssembly
.GetManifestResourceNames()
.Where(r => r.StartsWith(folderName) && r.EndsWith(".txt"))
//.Select(r => r.Substring(folderName.Length + 1))
.ToArray();
}
NOTE: Uncomment the //.Select(... line in order to get the filename.

Answer 3

have a try with this. here you get all files
string[] embeddedResources = Assembly.GetAssembly(typeof(T)).GetManifestResourceNames();
T is of course your type. so you can use it generic

Answer 4

Just cracked this, use:
Assembly _assembly;
_assembly = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly();
List<string> filenames = new List<string>();
filenames = _assembly.GetManifestResourceNames().ToList<string>();
List<string> txtFiles = new List<string>();
for (int i = 0; i < filenames.Count(); i++)
{
string[] items = filenames.ToArray();
if (items[i].ToString().EndsWith(".txt"))
{
txtFiles.Add(items[i].ToString());
}
}
