c# - How to reference embedded images from CSS?

Question

I have a CSS file that is embedded in my assembly. I need to set a background image for certain elements using this CSS file, and the image needs to be an embedded resource also. Is this possible? Is there any way I can reliably do this?

I ran into the problem when putting an existing stylesheet into this dll then realized images weren't showing up. I don't know of any way to make it work though because I would need to know the URL to the embedded image.

Has anyone done anything like this?

Answer 1

<% = WebResource("image1.jpg") %>

You can use above statement inside your CSS file, and while you register your CSS with WebResourceAttribute, you can set "PerformSubstitution" to true

Default.css
body{
    background: <%=WebResource("xyz.jpg")%>
}



[assembly, WebResource("Default.css","text/css", PerformSubstitution=true)]
[assembly, WebResource("xyz.jpg","image/jpg")]
