Question

Do You know how to open file from resources in Visual studio when I click on a button?
Thanks.

Answer 1

this can be used when your file is a local file

        string resName = "myfile.txt";
        var file = GetResourceStream(resName);
        string all = "";

        using (var reader = new StreamReader(file))
        {
            all = reader.ReadToEnd();
        }

where

     static UnmanagedMemoryStream GetResourceStream(string resName)
    {
        var assembly = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly();
        var strResources = assembly.GetName().Name + ".g.resources";
        var rStream = assembly.GetManifestResourceStream(strResources);
        var resourceReader = new System.Resources.ResourceReader(rStream);
        var items = resourceReader.OfType<System.Collections.DictionaryEntry>();
        var stream = items.First(x => (x.Key as string) == resName.ToLower()).Value;
        return (UnmanagedMemoryStream)stream;
    }
