If you use .RESX resource it will create two files for you. Look at the generated C# class. Never touch it, it will be auto-generated every time you change anything in the resources. Locate the generated static class and static property; the property name should be the same or close to the XML file name. Use this property, it will represent the content of the file. Use this variable (and nothing else; don't retrieve resource manually via Resource Manager — it's already done for you).

To fill a dataset, treat the content of the file as a string resource. You can read it with System.Xml.XmlReader, create XML document out of it, etc.

I got the perfect Answer for it.
Here it is the code

DataSet ds = new DataSet();
   XDocument doc = XDocument.Parse(Namespace.Properties.Resources.Name);
   ds.ReadXml(doc.CreateReader());
