    How to get the full file name from an embedded text file?

    I have a text file embedded in my dll, how can I load that file without using the GetManifestReso urceStream of the Assembly class, I want to read it as if it was just located in my c:\my document folder. Any ideas?

    I want to drive my car WITHOUT STARTING THE ENGINE, any ideas? .Net offers
    you the ability to read embedded resouce - files through
    GetManifestReso urceStream. What's wrong with it? You can use any reader
    (text, binary, xml) you like to read the data.

      An embedded resource is just that, "embedded". There is no concept of a "file path". You need to read the content using the standard resource APIs.

          Cryptography only deals with streams and byte arrays. The examples you have
          seen probably just use files for convenience. Once you have loaded the
          information from the resource, you should be able to use symmetric or
          asymmetric algorithms to perform the decryption.

          Thanks....I can take the hassle... Anyway I ask that question because the
          embedded file was encrypted and all the samples I have seen with regard to
          decrypting a file are used with a file path not a stream. Any ideas?
