Answer 1

Yes, you can do that.

Add a resource file to your project. Open the resource file in Visual Studio and click Insert Resource. You can select different types of resources, including external files.

Visual Studio will generate code for you so that you can retrieve the files as byte arrays at run time from their names through the Resources identifier.
