要載入並運行資源檔中的組件，最簡單的方法就是開個新的專案，把要真正要執行的組件加入資源檔中。

再用Assembly.Load載入組件後，呼叫EntryPoint.Invoke去執行組件即可。

Imports System.IO Imports System.Reflection

Module MainModule

_ Public Sub main(ByVal args() As String) Assembly.Load(My.Resources.ColorPicker).EntryPoint.Invoke(Nothing, New Object() {args}) End Sub End Module

同樣的概念，其實放在資源檔中的組件可以先經過壓縮處理，再放入資源檔中。載入時只要先經過解壓縮的動作，把要執行的組件從壓縮中解出，就可以執行了。

Imports System.IO Imports System.Reflection Imports ICSharpCode.SharpZipLib.Zip

Module MainModule

_ Public Sub main(ByVal args() As String) Using compressedMS As New MemoryStream(My.Resources.ColorPicker) Dim zf As New ZipFile(compressedMS) Dim ze As ZipEntry = zf.GetEntry(“ColorPicker.exe”) Dim zs As Stream = zf.GetInputStream(ze) Dim buffer(ze.Size - 1) As Byte zs.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length - 1) Assembly.Load(buffer).EntryPoint.Invoke(Nothing, New Object() {args}) End Using End Sub End Module

那若是放在資源檔中的組件需要參考多個組件呢?這邊借用小朱大的PLURK小圈圈管理工具來作實驗，我們可以把所有需要的組件壓縮成一個壓縮檔後，同樣也把它放入資源檔中。

利用CurrentDomain.AssemblyResolve事件，從壓縮中取出欲執行的組件會參考到的組件，把Assembly.Load載入的組件回傳就可以了。

Imports System.IO Imports System.Reflection Imports ICSharpCode.SharpZipLib.Zip

Module MainModule

Private Function GetAssembly(ByVal assemblyName As String) As Assembly Using compressedMS As New MemoryStream(My.Resources.CliqueManager) Dim zf As New ZipFile(compressedMS) Dim ze As ZipEntry = zf.GetEntry(assemblyName) Dim zs As Stream = zf.GetInputStream(ze) Dim buffer(ze.Size - 1) As Byte zs.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length - 1) Return Assembly.Load(buffer) End Using End Function

_ Public Sub main(ByVal args() As String) Dim currentDomain As AppDomain = AppDomain.CurrentDomain AddHandler currentDomain.AssemblyResolve, AddressOf currentDomain_AssemblyResolve

GetAssembly(“CliqueManager.exe”).EntryPoint.Invoke(Nothing, Nothing) End Sub

Private Function currentDomain_AssemblyResolve(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As ResolveEventArgs) As Assembly Return GetAssembly(e.Name.Substring(0, e.Name.IndexOf(",“c)) & “.dll”) End Function End Module

以此例子來看，處理下來最後檔案總容量會變為執行檔195KB與壓縮組件196KB，共391KB，檔案大小會變得比較小，佈署的組件數量也會比較少。
