access text file linked at compile time as resource

[=?Utf-8?B?VEQgaXMgUFNQ?=]

From <Project><Prope rtiesin the Resources I added a text file. Now I want
to load the data in that file at runtime into a string[] array. I tried
using the ResourceManager but it doesn't seem to have the data, at least it's
not listed in the GetManifestReso urceNames.

What do I need to use to retreive the data.
