Add to xml file that is stored in resource.

I have an xml file i saved into a resource that i can access via my.resouces.xmlfile

I want to add to that xml file and save it while the program is running so that it is all "embedded" into the exe.

So below is my xml file i have that is saved in my resouce folder as test.xml. I need to know how to write new xml to it as well as delete xml from it if need be.

<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?>

Hello:
It's a poor design. You should the functional design to not relay on compiled resources. Put your data as an standalone xml file, or save it to a DDBB if you need to restrict access to it.
You can't modify a program from within it while running.
