Usage

AssemblyEmbeddedResource

Represents an assembly's embedded resource.

// Retrieve an assembly's embedded resource and save it to disk

var assembly = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly();
var embeddedFile = "EmbeddedResource1.txt";

AssemblyEmbeddedResource resource = AssemblyEmbeddedResource.CreateFromAssembly(assembly, embeddedFile);

resource.Save(Path.Combine(@"C:\Temp\", embeddedFile));

ObjectConstruction

Initialize objects by calling their constructors using reflection.

// Initialize with no params

public class PrivateCtor
{
    private PrivateCtor()
    {
    }
}

// ...

var test = ObjectConstruction.ConstructNonPublic<PrivateCtor>();
// Initialize with params

public class InternalCtorWithParam
{
    public int Value { get; set; }

    internal InternalCtorWithParam(int value)
    {
        Value = value;
    }
}

// ...

var parameters = new Dictionary<Type, object>
{
    {typeof(int), 10}
};

var test = ObjectConstruction.ConstructNonPublic<InternalCtorWithParam>(parameters);

// test.Value == 10
