Embedded Resources problem

[DimkaNewtown]

Okay,

I have an XML file marked as an embedded resource in my project. I can access the data using the following code:

DataSet dsLocal = new DataSet();
            dsLocal.ReadXml( Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetManifestResourceStream("UMIShip.ShipAPIPackages.xml"));
			ShipAPIPackages = dsLocal.Tables[0];

But now, let's say I want to change something and make it persistent for the next time I run my application. I tried writing the stream back to the assembly but apparently it's read-only.

Little help please... (MSDN isn't helping)

You can't modify your executable at runtime like this. Embedded resources are read-only. You should consider using an external file instead.

I was afraid you'd say that. Thanks for clearing this up though!
