I'm creating a Windows service and am trying to access some files I added to a resource file, but I'm stuck because I don't know how to access the individual files. Just for some background info, here's what I've done so far: This is a C# Windows Service application running in debug mode as a console app, which helps me step into the code. I added a resource file to the root called "Resources.resx". In my resource file, I added a few jpg images and html files using the visual designer/editor. After I added the images and html files to the resource file, a new folder in my project appeared named "Resources" with all the files I added. In this new folder, I went to the properties of each file and changed the Build Action to Embedded Resource. (I don't know if this is necessary. Some blog I searched said to try it.) The project's namespace is called "MicroSecurity.EmailService". In order to get the name of the resource file, I used GetType().Assembly.GetManifestResourceNames() and I get the following GetType().Assembly.GetManifestResourceNames() {string[2]} string[] [0] "MicroSecurity.EmailService.Services.EmailService.resources" string [1] "MicroSecurity.EmailService.Resources.resources" string From this I identified that "MicroSecurity.EmailService.Resources.resources" is the string I want to use (index 1). I used the this code to get a stream object. var stream = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetManifestResourceStream("MicroSecurity.EmailService.Resources.resources"); When I add a watch to this variable during debugging, I can see things such as metadata for my images and etc. Here is where I'm stuck. I would like to access the image called "logo.jpg". This is what I'm doing to get at the image, but it's not working. var stre
