Get a TextReader from a Stream?

Question

I\'m trying to read an embedded text file with System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetManifestResourceStream(resource); but it gives me a Stream

Answer 1

You can read your resource file like this :

Assembly resourceAssembly = Assembly.LoadFrom(resourceFile.FullName);
string[] manifests = resourceAssembly.GetManifestResourceNames();

using (ResourceReader reader = new ResourceReader(
    resourceAssembly.GetManifestResourceStream(manifests[0])))
{
    foreach (IDictionaryEnumerator dict in reader)
    {
        string key = dict.Key as string;
        object val = dict.Value;
    }
}
