Embedded email settings in windows application

I want to know is there any way to embedded the email setting in windows application other then storing in app.confg file.The settings will be static so user dont have to change it during run time. As far as i know we can save it on resource file as string ,but how can i access the settings in my code?

Code:

string st = Properties.Resources.cubemail;
//SmtpSection smtpSection = ConfigurationManager.GetSection(st) as SmtpSection;
MailSettingsSectionGroup mMailSettings = 
    ConfigurationManager.GetSection(st) as MailSettingsSectionGroup;

mail.From = new MailAddress(mMailSettings.Smtp.From);

smtp.Host = mMailSettings.Smtp.Network.Host;
smtp.Port = mMailSettings.Smtp.Network.Port;
smtp.UseDefaultCredentials = mMailSettings.Smtp.Network.DefaultCredentials;
smtp.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential(
    mMailSettings.Smtp.Network.UserName, 
    mMailSettings.Smtp.Network.Password);

Use XML document to store email-settings where you can open/update XML document in notepad like text editor or read or update using Linq To XML.

EDIT:

If you've mark XML document as embedded resource then you can read it via Assembly.GetManifestResourceStream() method.

I presume that the name of xml document is Test.xml and is created under root with WindowApp namespace.

Test.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<MySettings>
  <host>something.com</host>
</MySettings>

To read a resource,

Assembly assembly = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly();
XDocument doc= XDocument.Load(assembly.GetManifestResourceStream("WindowApp.Test.xml"));
string host=doc.Root.Element("host").Value;
