Read Data from a Text File saved in Resources

    Private Sub frmMain_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        Randomize()
        '     get the data from text file
        '     This program reads 5 data Items
        '     inFile opens the notepad file
        inFile = IO.File.OpenText("My.Resources.Resource1.words_txt")

        'this function loops around until there is no more data
        Do Until inFile.Peek = -1
            X = X + 1
            'Word(1) stores the first word; Word(2) stores the second word and so forth
            Word(X) = inFile.ReadLine
        Loop
        'you must close the file
        inFile.Close()
    End Sub

    Private Sub btnWord_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles btnWord.Click
        y = Int(Rnd() * 10) + 1
        lblWord.Text = Word(y)
    End Sub
