That is fine on the desktop and for the benefit of the archives the code
snippet needs to close the stream before using types from the assembly (and
should check if the file already exists before creating it).

On the CF it seems the dependencies are checked before any user code gets a
chance to execute, so I cannot get it working. If you have a working CF
example please send it to me (I am interested in it from a POC point of view
:-).

Cheers
Daniel
