Is it possible to embed a custom binary file inside a C# class library and then at runtime read it with a binary reader?

I\'m guessing it might be possible through resou

    You can do this by adding the file to the Resources through the project properties. Visual studio will then give you a handy class to access your file using the following code

    byte[] theFile = myNamespace.Properties.Resources.theBinaryFile;
    

    Where the resource name is theBinaryFile.

    Yes it is easy:

    Add the file to your project and set the "Build action" to "Embedded resource".

    In your program do

    foreach (string name in Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetManifestResourceNames())
    {
      if (name.EndsWith("<name>", StringComparison.InvariantCultureIgnoreCase))
      {
        using (Stream stream = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetManifestResourceStream(name))
        {
          // ...
        }
        break;
      }
    }
    

    Finding the right resource is a little bit complicating because there is stuff in front of the file name (namespaces etc. set a breakpoint to the if(...) to see the real resource name).
