With the nuget package System Resources ResourceManager  v4 3 0  the ResourceSet and ResourceManager GetResourceSet are not available   Using the ResourceReader  as this post suggest   C  - Cannot getting a string from ResourceManager  from satellite assembly    It s still possible to read the key values of the resource file   System Reflection Assembly resourceAssembly   System Reflection Assembly Load new System Reflection AssemblyName  YourAssemblyName     String   manifests   resourceAssembly GetManifestResourceNames     using  ResourceReader reader   new ResourceReader resourceAssembly GetManifestResourceStream manifests 0          System Collections IDictionaryEnumerator dict   reader GetEnumerator       while  dict MoveNext               String key   dict Key as String        String value   dict Value as String

Blogged about it on my blog    Short version is  to find the full names of the resources unless you already know them    var assembly   Assembly GetExecutingAssembly     foreach  var resourceName in assembly GetManifestResourceNames        System Console WriteLine resourceName     To use all of them for something   foreach  var resourceName in assembly GetManifestResourceNames          using var stream   assembly GetManifestResourceStream resourceName                    Do something with stream           To use resources in other assemblies than the executing one  you d just get a different assembly object by using some of the other static methods of the Assembly class  Hope it helps

Create a ResXResourceReader for the file items resx    ResXResourceReader rsxr   new ResXResourceReader  items resx          Create an IDictionaryEnumerator to iterate through the resources    IDictionaryEnumerator id   rsxr GetEnumerator                 Iterate through the resources and display the contents to the console    foreach  DictionaryEntry d in rsxr       Console WriteLine d Key ToString        t    d Value ToString             Close the reader   rsxr Close      see link  microsoft example

The minute you add a resource  RESX file to your project  Visual Studio will create a Designer cs with the same name  creating a a class for you with all the items of the resource as static properties  You can see all the names of the resource when you type the dot in the editor after you type the name of the resource file   Alternatively  you can use reflection to loop through these names   Type resourceType   Type GetType  AssemblyName Resource1    PropertyInfo   resourceProps   resourceType GetProperties      BindingFlags NonPublic        BindingFlags Static        BindingFlags GetProperty    foreach  PropertyInfo info in resourceProps        string name   info Name      object value   info GetValue null  null       object can be an image  a string whatever        do something with name and value     This method is obviously only usable when the RESX file is in scope of the current assembly or project  Otherwise  use the method provided by  pulse     The advantage of this method is that you call the actual properties that have been provided for you  taking into account any localization if you wish  However  it is rather redundant  as normally you should use the type safe direct method of calling the properties of your resources

You should always use the resource manager and not read files directly to ensure globalization is taken into account   using System Collections  using System Globalization  using System Resources            Reference to your resources class -- may be named differently in your case    ResourceManager MyResourceClass       new ResourceManager typeof Resources     ResourceSet resourceSet       MyResourceClass ResourceManager GetResourceSet CultureInfo CurrentUICulture  true  true   foreach  DictionaryEntry entry in resourceSet        string resourceKey   entry Key ToString        object resource   entry Value

If you want to use LINQ  use resourceSet OfType lt DictionaryEntry gt     Using LINQ allows you  for example  to select resources based on their index  int  instead of key  string    ResourceSet resourceSet   Resources ResourceManager GetResourceSet CultureInfo CurrentUICulture  true  true   foreach  var entry in resourceSet OfType lt DictionaryEntry gt    Select  item  i    gt  new   Index   i  Key   item Key  Value   item Value           Console WriteLine     0    1    entry Index  entry Key
