Access Text File added to Resource

T

TD is PSP

I used the <Project><Properties> menu option to display the properties for my
project. There I clicked on the resources and added 5 text files whose
persistance is set to "Linked at compile time" (and I can't change that). At
runtime I tried using the Assembly object to retreive my file however it
doesn't seem to be there. I confirmed it with a call to
GetManifestResourceNames and indeed none of my 5 files show up in the list.

So the question how can I access the files within my code at runtime. Or
what should I do differently in order to embed files within my runtime (so
they are not visible to the user, or file system) and then access them within
the code at runtime.

You can put them in your Resources and set he build action to "Embedded
Resource"

Cool.

Also how can I save Application Properties. It's easy enough to save User
Properties but Application properties are read-only.

Thanks
