In this post, Cheryl Simmons demonstrates a different way of loading static

So as these things usually go, while doing something completely unrelated to the application I recently built, I found another way to load static XML content into your Silverlight/Windows application. Instead of adding a file and setting its Build Action to Resource, as shown in my previous blog post, and accessing the file in code with Application.GetResourceStream, you can also set the Build Action property for the file to Content.
