Here is a sample on how to save an embedded resource file

// Create a stream to save the file
FileStream fs = new FileStream(fileName,FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write);
// Get the stream for the resource
// resourceName is the full name of the resource including the namespace
Stream dataStream = typeof(ClassName).Assembly.GetManifestResourceStream(resourceName);
// check that we found the stream
if ( dataStream != null ) {
   // create a buffer
   byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
   int readCnt = 0;
   //write the resource to the file
   while ( (readCnt = dataStream.Read(buffer,0,buffer.Length)) > 0 ) {
      fs.Write(buffer,0,readCnt);
   }
   // close the streams
   dataStream.Close();
   fs.Close();
}
