        public static string ExtractResource(string resourceName)
        {
            foreach (string currentResource in System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetManifestResourceNames())
                if (currentResource.LastIndexOf(resourceName) != -1)
                {
                    string fqnTempFile = System.IO.Path.GetTempFileName();
                    string path = System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(fqnTempFile);
                    string rootName = System.IO.Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(fqnTempFile);
                    string destFile = path + @"\" + rootName + "." +
                    System.IO.Path.GetExtension(currentResource);

                    System.IO.Stream fs = System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetManifestResourceStream(currentResource);

                    byte[] buff = new byte[fs.Length];
                    fs.Read(buff, 0, (int)fs.Length);
                    fs.Close();

                    System.IO.FileStream destStream = new System.IO.FileStream(destFile,FileMode.Create);
                    destStream.Write(buff, 0, buff.Length);
                    destStream.Close();

                    return destFile;
                }

            throw new Exception("Resource not found : " + resourceName);

        }

In solution explorer, right-click on the text file that you want to embed, select "Properties". Under "Build Action", select "Embedded Resource", build solution.
