Embedded Resource of xml file

[Mullin Yu]

am i right that if i set the Advanced Build property of the xml file to be
"Embedded Resource"?

do i mean that i don't need to copy the xml file when deployment?

the following is my coding:
Stream xmlStream =
Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetManifestResourceStream("SynESDForm.SynESD
Form.xml");

XmlDocument xmlDoc = new XmlDocument();
//xmlDoc.Load("SynESDForm.xml");
xmlDoc.Load(xmlStream);

indeed, i just want to deploy the application with all the resource to a
directory.

if my Build setting is to c:\build, i want my application and all the
resources automaticlly be deployed/copied to that folder.

now, just only the application

thanks!

If you set the Build Action to Embedded Resource, the XML file will actually be embedded into the assemby, not copied to your build folder

then, i can't change the content of the xml file, right?

this isn't what i want as the xml file is a config file that users can
change the setting.

how can i deploy it with my project during the build? i use the command
script to compile and deploy the application, but the resource files had not
been deployed

devenv -build abc.sln

thanks!
