Dear Trader,

Could you please provide us with more details regarding your question?

What kind of configuration file do you want to embed in our code?

You can contact us at feedback@spotware.com, if you like.

I have a text file in my algo project in Visual Studio.  I set the build action to Embedded Resource.  In a regular .NET assembly I could read it with code similar to this:

var assembly = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly();
var resourceName = "MyCompany.MyProduct.MyFile.txt";

using (Stream stream = assembly.GetManifestResourceStream(resourceName))
using (StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(stream))
{
    string result = reader.ReadToEnd();
}

But the algo building process must be stripping resources, I guess, because mine isn't there.

Dear Trader,

We don't support resources.

However, we recommend you to create a class with constants and use it as a "resource".
