Re: How to Get MachineName at Compile Time?

Thanks, I know how to do some of what you write, except:

#2. How do I " Set the file to compile as an embedded resource?"

#3. How do I "Read the contents of the file out of the manifest
resources?"

#4. I now have a pre-build step that says "hostname > MachineName.txt"
but it puts the answer in {project}/bin/Debug directory. Should I
have the pre-build step say "hostname > ..\..\MachineName.txt"? or
some other location. I guess question #4 is related to #3.

Thanks
