Read resource text file into an array

Question

I have a text file as a resource that I want to read into an array.

 private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        string[] questions = new string[4];
        StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(Properties.Resources.TextFile1);


        for(int i = 0; i < 4; i++)
        {
            questions[i] = sr.ReadLine();
        }
        sr.Close();

        for (int n = 0; n < 4; n++)
        {
           textBox1.Text = questions[n];
        }

I then attempted the following code but keep getting a Null exception

        string[] questions = new string[4];
        var assembly = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly();
        var resourceName = Properties.Resources.TextFile1;

        using (Stream stream = assembly.GetManifestResourceStream(resourceName))
        using (StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(stream))

Since Properties.Resources.TextFile1 contains the contents of the file, you don't need to use a StreamReader at all. You can just parse the string however you like. In your case you could split the string on the newline character:

var questions = Properties.Resources.TextFile1.Split(new string[] { Environment.NewLine }, StringSplitOptions.None);
