    opening files added to "Content" project

    I recently realized that File.OpenRead("Content/FileName.file") opens the file and i'm able to do anything with it.(On the XBOX even) Is this a viable technique or is there something wrong with my Xbox?

    And if so, why didn't I know about this? How many other cool little things don't I know about XNA? (Thats rhetorical) (unless someone actually knows something cool that most people don't realize lol)

    While you can do that, it'll make things more difficult then just using the ContentManager.

      Got some XNA Game Studio/XNA Framework development info to share with the community? Put it on the XNA Wiki.

    Yup, you have full access to the File I/O stuff and even the XML serialization stuff.  If you have some content for which you don't have an importer/processor, it's perfectly viable to add it to the Content project (make sure you set it not to compile, and to always copy the file to output) and then just directly load up the file.
