Resource from assembly as a stream

Question

I have an image in a C# WPF app whose build action is set to \'Resource\'. It\'s just a file in the source directory, it hasn\'t been added to the app\'s resource collection

You're probably looking for Application.GetResourceStream

StreamResourceInfo sri = Application.GetResourceStream(new Uri("Images/foo.png"));
if (sri != null)
{
    using (Stream s = sri.Stream)
    {
        // Do something with the stream...
    }
}
