byte[] ba = Properties.Resources.yourfilename;
//set  Build Action to Resource and Rebuild 
using (var compressedStream = new MemoryStream(ba))
using (var zipStream = new GZipStream(compressedStream, CompressionMode.Decompress))
using (var resultStream = new MemoryStream())
{
    zipStream.CopyTo(resultStream);
    ba1 = resultStream.ToArray();
}

You can add the .dat as a resource to the project then during runtime extract using a stream and save to a file on temp folder
