Methods

	Name	Description
	CombineVirtualPaths	Combines a base path with a relative path to return a complete path to a virtual resource. (Inherited from VirtualPathProvider)
	CreateObjRef	Creates an object that contains all the relevant information required to generate a proxy used to communicate with a remote object. (Inherited from MarshalByRefObject)
	DirectoryExists	Gets a value that indicates whether a directory exists in the virtual file system. (Overrides VirtualPathProviderDirectoryExists(String))
	Equals	Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object)
	FileExists	Gets a value that indicates whether a file exists in the virtual file system. (Overrides VirtualPathProviderFileExists(String))
	Finalize	Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object)
	GetCacheDependency	Creates a cache dependency based on the specified virtual paths. (Overrides VirtualPathProviderGetCacheDependency(String, IEnumerable, DateTime))
	GetCacheKey	Returns a cache key to use for the specified virtual path. (Inherited from VirtualPathProvider)
	GetDirectory	Gets a virtual directory from the virtual file system. (Overrides VirtualPathProviderGetDirectory(String))
	GetFile	Gets a file from the virtual file system. (Overrides VirtualPathProviderGetFile(String))
	GetFileHash	Returns a hash of the specified virtual paths. (Inherited from VirtualPathProvider)
	GetHashCode	Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object)
	GetLifetimeService	Retrieves the current lifetime service object that controls the lifetime policy for this instance. (Inherited from MarshalByRefObject)
	GetType	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object)
	Initialize	Initializes the VirtualPathProvider instance. (Inherited from VirtualPathProvider)
	InitializeLifetimeService	Gives the VirtualPathProvider object an infinite lifetime by preventing a lease from being created. (Inherited from VirtualPathProvider)
	MemberwiseClone	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object)
	MemberwiseClone(Boolean)	Creates a shallow copy of the current MarshalByRefObject object. (Inherited from MarshalByRefObject)
	Register	Registers the EmbeddedResourceProvider within a HostingEnvironment.
	ToString	Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object)

Extension Methods

	Name	Description
	GetEnumValueOrDefault	Gets the enumeration constant for value, if defined in the enumeration, or a default value. (Defined by EnumExtensions)

Remarks

This provider responds to requests for embedded resources when the virtual path begins with an "@", e.g., http://localhost/@GSF.Web.Model.Scripts.gsf.web.client.js

To use, add the following to the Global.asax.cs Application_Start function:

Copy

// Add additional virtual path provider to allow access to embedded resources
EmbeddedResourceProvider.Register();

Then add the namespace paths to the embedded resources for which you need access to the Web.config <system.webServer> section:

Copy

<system.webServer>
  <handlers>
    <!-- Add embedded resource handler for GSF script resources using slash delimiters -->
    <add name="EmbeddedResourceHandler-GSFScripts" path="@GSF/Web/Model/Scripts/*" verb="*" type="System.Web.StaticFileHandler" allowPathInfo="true" />
    <!-- Add embedded resource handler for GSF view resources using slash delimiters -->
    <add name="EmbeddedResourceHandler-GSFViews" path="@GSF/Web/Model/Views/*" verb="*" type="System.Web.StaticFileHandler" allowPathInfo="true" />
    <!-- Add embedded resource handler for GSF handler resources using slash delimiters -->
    <add name="EmbeddedResourceHandler-GSFHandlers" path="@GSF/Web/Model/Handlers/*" verb="*" type="System.Web.UI.SimpleHandlerFactory" allowPathInfo="true" />
    <!-- Add embedded resource handler for fully qualified type names using dot delimiters (this should be defined last) -->
    <add name="EmbeddedResourceHandler-FQName" path="@*" verb="*" type="System.Web.StaticFileHandler" allowPathInfo="true" />
  </handlers>
</system.webServer>
