how to convert XML in to resources

Answer 1

XSLT

Answer 2

I don't know if I fully understand the question. If you want to take these XML and instead of deploying them along with your apllication to have them as a resource in an assembly then you need to do the following:

• select the file in the Solution Explorer
• open Properties window (F4)
• set Embedded Resource in Build Action

Now your XML is embedded as a resource in your assembly. Now the question is how to access it. For this use the following code:

Assembly assembly = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly();
Stream stream = assembly.GetManifestResourceStream("<default namespace.>MyFile.xml");
StreamReader streamReader = new StreamReader(stream);
// now process the stream the way you want -- for example streamReader.ReadToEnd() to get it as a text

There is a good CodeProject article called Embedded resources.
