Answer 1

The command line tool ilasm will do that for you.

Answer 2

Thanks for Your Reply,

But this ilasm command is not working.  I tryied it.

Answer 3

Well given you posted no details (or error messages) on the problem you are having besides "it's not working" the only logical answer I can give is "you're doing it wrong". If you post further information i'd be more then happy to look at it.

Answer 4

create a web application then add all the resource files.. then select every single file and go to properties tab.. here change build action to Embedded Resources for every file. It will create a dll of all the resource files

Answer 5

Hi,

  Thanks for your post. I would suggest silverlight with .net forum as a better option.

I have the same problem. When I generate a.il file out of a .dll file I get ~200 .resources files, 1 .bmp, 1 .png and 1 .res. When I generate the signed dll again using the ilasm.exe tool from the command line I can use the /res argument to embedd the .res file but I dont know how to embedd the other ~200 files. I compared the .dll before and after and they differ in size so that should be evidence enough the resources werent embedded right? Any idea? Note that these .DLLs are not output from Visual studio or our regular build process, these are localization .DLLs generated by our LOC team (Translaters).

Answer 7

As mentioned in 2010, you should ask in one of the Silverlight Developer Centerforums.
