Hello,

I'd like to programmatically access keys and values of on .resources file
embedded in my assembly.
I've seen that the assembly class provides the GetManifestResourceStream
method .... but then I don't know I to access single keys and values inside
the same .resources file. I'd like to be able to do something like what is
possible with the ResourceManager class but I haven't found a way to use it
with embedded resources but only with external resource files.

I've looked at both articles. The second contains nothing useful. The first
does not show what I asked for.
Suppose I have a SINGLE embedded .resources file in my assembly containing
MANY key/value pairs. I'd like to be able to access the different values
passing in the key. How can I accomplish this???

dim resourceName as string
resourceName="<YourNameSpace>.<ResourceName>" ' resource name must be
without extension
' sample: resourceName="Emergency.myResource"

Dim resources As New ResourceManager(resourceName,
[Assembly].GetExecutingAssembly()))

Dim searchedKey as String
Dim FoundValue as String
searchedKey ="?????"
FoundValue = CType(resources.GetObject(searchedKey ), String)

Ernest,

I did not know that you could use the ResourceManager class to access
embedded resource files ... I have always used it to access external
..resources and .resx files. Thx.
