embedded text file

[Peter van der veen]

Hi

I have a VB project and added a text file to it as an embedded
resource.

But i can'f find a way now how to read this file just as a normal text
file with the streamreader command.

Anyone can give me a hint?

Stream resStream =
Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetManifestResourc eStream(this.GetType(),
fileName)

Remember to close the stream.
