Embed xml file as ressource file in an exe.

[Jesper]

Is it possible to embed an xml file from the solution in a program at compile
time. Alternatively I will paste it in the code on the form

doc.LoadXml( "<root>...a billion zillion lines..</root>");

But It would be great if I could do a trick where an solution/project file
in xml could be embedded and read. Maybe something on the following form:

XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument()
doc.Load({your great answer})

Add the XML to the project and then in the properties of the object set
the Build Action to "Embedded Resource". You can open it by using
assembly.GetManifestResourceStream("Namespace.path .to.file.file.xml").

The name of the file is the namespace of the file (folder structure) +
it's name.
