How do I embed and read a text file ina WP7 app?

I'm trying to include a text file that contains some static data that I need to read in when the app starts up. I've added the file and marked the Build Action to "Resource" but I'm unsure of how to actually read it in as a stream. Anyone know how to do this?

try this:

var resource = Application.GetResourceStream(
                               new Uri(@"/YOURASSEMBLYNAME;component/Stations.txt", 
                               UriKind.Relative));

StreamReader streamReader = new StreamReader(resource.Stream);

string x = streamReader.ReadToEnd();

That should work for you.

You can use the System.Windows.Application.GetResourceStream method:

var resource = System.Windows.Application.GetResourceStream(
                   new Uri("textfile.txt",UriKind.Relative));

should do the trick
