Changing resources in .NET executable

PLS
In the native world, there are a number of utilities that allow one to
edit resources in an executable.

I have a situation where I want an executable to contain a semi-static
table. I want to be able to give selected people in the field
instructions for changing this table. They will then distribute the
program with the updated table within their groups.

The people updating the table will not have Visual Studio. And if at all
possible I want to keep the program as a single file rather than having
the table as a separate file.

Is there a way in the .NET world?

Thanks,
++PLS

..NET executables are real Win32 PE files, so they can still contain the
old-style (native) resources. For example, that's the way to set your
application icon.
