Embedding resource in a C++/CLI project

I'd like to embed some files (text files, maybe graphics) in a C++/CLI project -- preferably the same way I can do in C# project. This might be however impossible, as I found in this post: http://bytes.com/topic/net/answers/571530-loading-markup-xamlreader-load-resource-file#post22407开发者_JS百科05. This was written three years ago, so maybe now there is some way to do this (in VS2k8)?

Under C++/Cli project go to “Properties…”, then look under “Linker”, and then “Input”, you’ll see the list of embedded files under “Embed Managed Resource File”.

Go to file properties, General, Item Type, select Compiled Managed Resource

Works in VS2013

To access resource in program:

Stream^ stream = Assembly::GetExecutingAssembly()->GetManifestResourceStream("file.txt");

This is an embellishment of Tarydon's comment, showing how to save the embedded resource to a file:

using namespace System::IO;
...
String^ tmpFilename = System::IO::Path::GetTempFileName();
try
{
   Stream^ readStream = Assembly::GetExecutingAssembly()->GetManifestResourceStream("embedded_file_name.xyz");
   if(readStream != nullptr)
   {
       FileStream^ writeStream = gcnew FileStream(tmpFilename, FileMode::Create);
       readStream->CopyTo(writeStream);
       readStream->Close();
       writeStream->Close(); // Required to flush the buffer & have non-zero filesize
   }
}
catch (...)
{
    // Do something?
}
