Hi,

For my CF application I need some configuration settings which I store as
XML files along with the exe and load them.

I understand that we can include them within the EXE as a embedded resources
and load it from there. Is there any issues (other than the exe size)
related to performance or memory in doing this? I prefer to adopt this
method as it will mean I need to deploy less files.

The .exe size can definitely be an issue depending on your whole scenario
but as far as simply using them... I have used them a good amount and
haven't noticed any performance degradation. I haven't done any speed
comparisons but if anything, I'd expect them to be the same or possibly
faster.

I've used images primarily and they aren't exactly small and the performance
is fine so to that end, I think you'll be fine.
