How do I make a c# exe artificially large?

I have a requirement to make an existing c# app 10MB in size.

Making the app is easy, making it large intentionally, not so much. There is the obvious way of adding embedded images, but I want the exe to compress to a small size as well. Any idea?

+3  A: 

Why not add an embedded resource text file of many repeated characters?

+3  A: 

How about an embedded resource that contains only whitespace? That should compress well.

Ok, that's an obvious one I missed. Thank you sir.
