C++/CLI stored procedure can't find resources - c++

Question

I have some code which is fine in C++/CLI console application.
unsigned char* res2buffer()
{
HMODULE HInstance = 0x00;
try
{
HRSRC hrsrc = ::FindResourceW( HInstance, L"IDR_1251", RT_RCDATA);
if( hrsrc == NULL)
{
return nullptr;
}
const size_t nsize = ::SizeofResource( HInstance, hrsrc );
HGLOBAL hglob = ::LoadResource( HInstance, hrsrc );
LPVOID rdata = LockResource(hglob);
fuzzyRus = new unsigned char[ nsize ];
::memcpy( fuzzyRus, rdata, nsize );
UnlockResource(hglob);
::FreeResource(hglob);
return fuzzyRus;
}
catch(...)
{
}
return nullptr;
}
But is does not work in code made as Stored Procedure. Any clue? I guess I have to pass HInstance as a number is different then 0x00. The question is "Instance of what?"

Answer 1

You can get the HMODULE for your DLL like this:
HMODULE HInstance = NULL;
GetModuleHandleEx(
GET_MODULE_HANDLE_EX_FLAG_FROM_ADDRESS
| GET_MODULE_HANDLE_EX_FLAG_UNCHANGED_REFCOUNT,
(LPCTSTR)res2buffer,
&HInstance
);

Make solution in managed way: File must be attached in linker option Input->Embeded Managed Resource File-> resource\rustbl.bin
static const unsigned char* GetRusTables() // get data from the resource file
{
Reflection::Assembly^ ca = Reflection::Assembly::GetExecutingAssembly();
IO::BinaryReader^ rusres = gcnew IO::BinaryReader( ca->GetManifestResourceStream( "rustbl.bin" ) );
array<unsigned char>^ buffPtr = rusres->ReadBytes( 413032 );
pin_ptr<unsigned char> fuzzyRus = &buffPtr[0];
return fuzzyRus;
}
