Loading Files
-
Hello, I am loading a file within my app and the way I am refering to it is something like that:
this.richTextBox1.LoadFile("c:\\tmp\\Document.rtf");However if I want to deploy the application on some other machine, obviously the file will not be there. So, if I want to include the file in my application how do I refer to the file then? Thank you. -

Is the file something you will deploy with your code? If so you will know where it should be. You could try something like this:
try
{
this.richTextBox1.LoadFile("c:\\tmp\\Document.rtf"); //of course point to where you think it is
}
catch
{
OpenFileDialog ofd = new OpenFileDialog();
ofd.Title = "Please locate Document.rtf"; //or whatever title you want
ofd.Filter = "RTF File|*.rft";
ofd.ShowDialog();if ( ofd.FileName != "" ) { this.richTextBox1.LoadFile( ofd.FileName ); }
else { // do something to handle the error }

Just put it in your application'S folder and do a
this.richTextBox1.LoadFile("Document.rtf");You might also insert the file as a resourceHi, I am using : Help.ShowHelp (this, "Help\\EconomicAssessmentHelp.chm"); whre Help is the folder in my application folder (the one that contains the solution and all the clasees, forms, etc...). But the statement above still does not work, unless I provide the whole path. Which is "C:\\MyDocuments\.... etc. Any ideas why it does not work? Thank you
