This is an add-in for Fody
Simplifies reading embedded resources from an Assembly.
Static resource names are checked at compile time. Use Resource.AsString and Resource.AsStream.
Runtime resource names are not check but can still make use of the helper code. Use Resource.AsStringUnChecked and Resource.AsStreamUnChecked.

Assuming you have an embedded resource at the root of your assembly named ResourceName and your assembly is named AssemblyName.
class Sample
{
void ReadResourceAsString()
{
var stringValue = Resource.AsString("ResourceName");
}
void ReadResourceAsStream()
{
var streamValue = Resource.AsStream("ResourceName");
}
}
class Sample
{
void ReadResourceAsString()
{
string stringValue;
var assembly = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly();
using (var stream = assembly.GetManifestResourceStream("AssemblyName.ResourceName"))
using (var streamReader = new StreamReader(stream))
{
stringValue = streamReader.ReadToEnd();
}
}
void ReadResourceAsStream()
{
var assembly = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly();
var streamValue = assembly.GetManifestResourceStream("AssemblyName.ResourceName");
}
}
