Simply run this code, from the Developer Command prompt: aspnet_regiis -i

Update 3-Jul-17:
On Windows Server 2012 you may need to run this command:

dism /online /enable-feature /featurename:IIS-ASPNET45 /all

Why? I have some unit tests that need to run off of some pre-defined static XML data and while the tests run fine so long as the file and assembly are in the same location as soon as the assembly is moved elsewhere they start to fail, “file not found” exceptions.
So if the file is embedded in the assembly I don’t need to worry about where it is located anymore.

The assumption, in the following, is that the file is XML that has been serialised from an existing List and is being reloaded back into the same, and that the file is in the current assembly. “_states” is a global variable.

So here are the basic steps for this:

In your Solution Explorer view right-click on the file, in this case “state.xml”, and view it’s Properties, make sure that the “Build Action” is set to “Embedded Resource”, optionally set the “Copy to Output Directory” to “Do not copy”.

Once this has done then the file can be loaded and copied into the required object using:

GetFileFromAssembly

An important thing to remember is that the “Namespace” prefix to the file is the “Default namespace” as entered in the Application properties tab and not the namespace used in the referencing file.

You can reference the file, if it’s in a sub-folder by adding the folder just after the namespace, e.g.

GetFileFromAssemblyNamespace
