C# equivalent of getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream(…)

Question

In Java you can read a file embedded inside a JAR-file by using the following code:

String file = \"com/company/package/filename.txt\";
InputStream is = Clas         


        

Answer 1

Once you've added the text file as a resource, and assigned a resourceName to it, then:

 Assembly assembly = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly();
 TextReader inputStream = new StreamReader(assembly.GetManifestResourceStream(resourceName));
 string result = inputStream.ReadToEnd();
