### Configuring Raw Asset Deployment in .NET MAUI .csproj

Source: https://github.com/naweed/mauitubeplayer.git/blob/main/src/MauiTubePlayer/Resources/Raw/AboutAssets.txt

This XML snippet shows the `MauiAsset` build action used in the .csproj file to include all files within the Resources\Raw directory and its subdirectories for deployment with the application package. The LogicalName ensures the original directory structure is maintained.

```XML
<MauiAsset Include="Resources\Raw\**" LogicalName="%(RecursiveDir)%(Filename)%(Extension)" />
```

### Accessing Deployed Raw Assets in .NET MAUI C#

Source: https://github.com/naweed/mauitubeplayer.git/blob/main/src/MauiTubePlayer/Resources/Raw/AboutAssets.txt

This C# function demonstrates how to asynchronously open and read a deployed raw asset file (specifically 'AboutAssets.txt') from the application package using `Microsoft.Maui.Storage.FileSystem.OpenAppPackageFileAsync`. It reads the entire content into a string.

```C#
async Task LoadMauiAsset()
{
    using var stream = await FileSystem.OpenAppPackageFileAsync("AboutAssets.txt");
    using var reader = new StreamReader(stream);

    var contents = reader.ReadToEnd();
}
```
