How to replace string in resource .NET assembly?

[NIkNik]

Hello.

I need find and replace string in dll.


foreach (Resource res in assembly.MainModule.Resources)
{
   if(res.ResourceType != ResourceType.Embedded)
   {
      continue;
   }
   byte[] x = ((EmbeddedResource)res).GetResourceData();

   ???
}

Please, help. Thanks.

Hi,

It all depends on the format of embedded data. Is this a simple text
file? Is this a windows resource file?

Text in xml tags.
>>The .resx resource file format consists of XML entries, which specify objects and strings inside XML tags.

You're going to have to know the encoding of the data.

Then you can either simply transform the data to a string using the
proper encoding, or create a memory stream for the data and pass that
to your favorite XML api.

Hi,

This is a bit outside of the scope of Cecil itself. At that point in
time you only need to find a way to read your resource set from
memory, and write it back to memory.

That being said, here's some code that you could use:

var resource = (EmbeddedResource) module.Resources.Single (r => r.Name
== "Foo.resources");

var reader = new ResourceReader (resource.GetResourceStream ());
foreach (DictionaryEntry kv in reader)
Console.WriteLine("Key: {0} Value: {1}", kv.Key, kv.Value);

var newResourceStream = new MemoryStream ();
var writer = new ResourceWriter (newResourceStream);

foreach (DictionaryEntry kv in reader) {
if (kv.Value is string)
writer.AddResource((string)kv.Key, (string)kv.Value);
else if (kv.Value is byte[])
writer.AddResource ((string) kv.Key, (byte[]) kv.Value);
else
writer.AddResource ((string) kv.Key, kv.Value);
}

var newResource = new EmbeddedResource (resource.Name,
resource.Attributes, newResourceStream.ToArray ());
module.Resources.Remove (resource);
module.Resources.Add (newResource);

There's probably a much simpler way.
