I’m having some trouble reading an embedded resource (text file) in , usually I use Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly() but I can’t seem to do it in this one. I’m referencing the System.Reflection namespace but it says cannot find, thinking it was possibly removed.

Any ideas?

Currently using Windows 8 Consumer Preview

Code:
Assembly readAssembly = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly();
StreamReader streamReader = new StreamReader(readAssembly.GetManifestResourceStream("Test.txt"));

Error:
System.Reflection.Assembly’ does not contain a definition for ‘GetExecutingAssembly’

    In WinRT the resources should be included in the package. You use Package.Current.InstalledLocation.GetFileAsync to read the resource.

    The following post has some sample code:
