I am trying to follow this thread:
How to read embedded resource text file

However I am not able to make it work.

Goal: From a txt file that it is embed on the project which has a list of names. Read all the entries, store them on an array list of strings.

Current set up of the file: enter image description here

Current code based on the linked thread:

            var assembly = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly();

            using (Stream stream = assembly.GetManifestResourceStream(TownGame.Properties.Resources.m_names))
            using (StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(stream))
            {
                string result = reader.ReadToEnd();
            }

Which is the best way to fill out:

public string[] names_list = new string[20];  //list of names

With the content of the embed m_names.txt file?

Changed the original code for this: This is in a debugging, The streamer is NULL still the file has content as shown with the mouse over the n_names.txt

enter image description here

    Why not use what you're getting with your StreamReader..? As its name suggests, it's reading the file. So instead of reading it all at one with `ReadToEnd`, read it line by line and put that in you array. – Broots Waymb Nov 07 '16 at 16:31
  • sorry not sure how to do it, the problem is that: using (StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(stream)) is not working at all, I am not sure how to use properly, the getManifiestResourceStream @DangerZone – dracebus Nov 07 '16 at 16:47
  • What do you mean it is not working? Are you getting an error or exception? What is happening? – Broots Waymb Nov 07 '16 at 16:50
  • An unhandled exception of type 'System.ArgumentNullException' occurred in mscorlib.dll Additional information: Value cannot be null. it is failing this: Stream stream = assembly.GetManifestResourceStream(TownGame.Properties.Resources.m_names) any idea why? – dracebus Nov 07 '16 at 17:03
  • If you debug the program, at that line is `TownGame.Properties.Resou‌​rces.m_names` null? – Broots Waymb Nov 07 '16 at 17:11
  • Please share the exception stack trace and also show on which line this occurs. – Mohd Ismail Siddiqui Nov 07 '16 at 17:18
  • changed the original code a little bit, still having problem with streamer as null – dracebus Nov 07 '16 at 18:43
