Retrieves the content of an embedded resource file from the assembly. Uses the DefaultNamespaceAttribute if available, otherwise falls back to assembly name.
public static string GetEmbeddedFile(Type type, string name, string folder)
type Type
A type from the assembly containing the embedded resource
name String
The name of the embedded file
folder String
The folder path within the assembly resources (default: “Embedded”)
String
The content of the embedded file as a string
