Lexical.FileProvider.Dll

DllFileProvider.OpenFile(string) opens .dll files. This library uses Mono.Cecil NuGet package.

DllFileProvider fileProvider = DllFileProvider.OpenFile("Lexical.Localization.Tests.dll");

Another constructor is DllFileProvider.UseStream(Stream).

// Open some stream
Stream stream = new FileStream("Lexical.Localization.Tests.dll", FileMode.Open);

// Use stream as dll file.
DllFileProvider fileProvider = DllFileProvider.UseStream(stream).AddDisposable(stream);

List all embedded resources.

foreach (string embeddedResource in fileProvider.ListAllPaths().OrderBy(s=>s))
    Console.WriteLine(embeddedResource);

Looks like this.

Lexical.Localization.Tests.localization.ini
Lexical.Localization.Tests.localization.json
Lexical.Localization.Tests.Localization.localization.ini
Lexical.Localization.Tests.Localization.localization-en.ini
Lexical.Localization.Tests.Localization.localization-fi.ini
...

File provider must be disposed after use.

fileProvider.Dispose();

Belated disposing can be added to the file provider. The disposable will be disposed once the fileprovider and all its streams are closed.

// Create file provider
DllFileProvider fileProvider = DllFileProvider.OpenFile("Lexical.Localization.Tests.dll");
// Add disposable for belated dispose
fileProvider.AddBelatedDispose(new _Disposable_());
// Open stream
Stream s = fileProvider
        .GetFileInfo("Lexical.Localization.Tests.Localization.localization-en.ini")
        .CreateReadStream();
// Dispose file provider
fileProvider.Dispose();
// Dispose the open stream  --  _Disposable_ is disposed here.
s.Dispose();

Package Loader

Lexical.FileProvider.PackageLoader.Dll can be used as a component of PackageFileLoader, making it possible to drill down into embedded resources of .dll files. Lexical.FileProvider.PackageLoader.Exe can open embedded resources of managed .exe files.

// Create root file provider
PhysicalFileProvider root = new PhysicalFileProvider(Directory.GetCurrentDirectory());

// Create package options
IPackageFileProviderOptions options =
    new PackageFileProviderOptions()
    .AddPackageLoaders(
        Lexical.FileProvider.PackageLoader.Dll.Singleton, 
        Lexical.FileProvider.PackageLoader.Exe.Singleton
    );

// Create package file provider
IPackageFileProvider fileProvider = new PackageFileProvider(root, options).AddDisposable(root);
