if you have added files as resources, check your .Designer.cs, there will be a property for each resource. you can access from that.

            object obj = ResourceManager.GetObject("MyDatFile", resourceCulture);
            return ((byte[])(obj));

you can read the dat file as

    System.Text.UTF8Encoding enc = new System.Text.UTF8Encoding();
    var str = enc.GetString(Resource1.MyDatFile);
