Answer 1

First, go to project resources (My Project --> Resources), and drag-and-drop your file, say "myfile.txt", from the file system to the resourses page. Then:

    Imports System.IO
    ...
    Dim stream As New MemoryStream(My.Resources.myfile)
    Dim reader As New StreamReader(stream)
    Dim s As String = reader.ReadToEnd()
