You see the example uses A.B.fileextension
You are asking if you can use B.fileextension
Is it not apparent that you are missing A?
Even if it is not apparent, why not try it and see what exception you get
and then when you post here you have more details to provide (e.g. some code
and the exception thrown).
Since by your own admission you are new to .NET CF, may I suggest you learn
to use the archives before posting here:
http://groups-beta.google.com/group/microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.compactframework/search?group=microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.compactframework&q=GetManifestResourceStream&qt_g=1&searchnow=Search+this+group
The CF FAQ (look at 7.3):
http://msdn.microsoft.com/smartclient/understanding/netcf/FAQ/default.aspx#7.3
Also remove the evb group as VB.NET questions are irrelevant to it.
Please understand it is easier for me to just give you the answer rather
than write all of the above but I think you'll appreciate learning how to
find things for yourself and rely on the ng for harder questions (that
preferably have not been asked/answered before).
Cheers
Daniel
