G'day,

I'm trying to write to a text file that is a resource of the solution in Visual Basic 2008. Unfortunately, I don't know how to do that. All the guides, questions etc. seem to be about writing to external text files. Could someone please help me?

Thanks

If this is embedded resource, it is embedded in the executable, which is strictly read-only, so you won't be able to modify it. Why indeed? It is never needed, taking in consideration its purpose.

I am making a game for a school assignment, need somewhere to store the high scores. Trying to get a file that goes with the package, and isn't just floating around somewhere.

This link gives enough information (so, my 5) on the topic but some answers can be confusing the less experience reader, so it should be said: embedded resource is strictly read-only -- see my answer.
