Embedded resource suggestions?

I have an assembly (AppResources.dll) which contains a number of embedded
resource files. Most of these are key/value pairs of relevant strings; a few
are images and sounds; some more are XML files. My application will load the
resources into memory as they are needed.

I would like to be able to read and write to these embedded resources.

Is it possible to write to an embedded resource within an assembly? If so,
how? If it's not possible, what other resource-storage strategy would you
recommend so that I am able to read and write to the resources? I'd prefer
not to use individual files for each resource, if that's an option.

Thanks for your time.

Did you take a look at the System.Resources.ResourceWriter-Class?

Arne, I did indeed see that class. But I'll quote you a passage from it:
"Writes resources in the system-default format to an output file or an
output stream."

How would I open a writable stream to an embedded resource in an assembly?

Thanks!
