如何在列表中获取资源及其名称？

Question

This is my question's scenario:-

1. I have added a lot of images and other files(like .wav) in my Resources folder of project. The image files go with names such as "woof1", "woof2"....."env1", "env2"......"alpha1", "alpha2"..... and so on.

2. I want to access all image files starting with ONLY certain prefix (like "woof#" or "alpha#") and want to store these images in a List, and store the names of retrieved images in List.

Please help me. My project is to make a memory game..and the prefixes define different categories of images. I really need this to know.

Are the resources added to the project file as a resource? If so, you can use Assembly.GetManifestResourceNames .

Sample code from MSDN: Finding the Names of Resources in an Assembly :

System.Reflection.Assembly thisExe; 
thisExe = System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly();
string [] resources = thisExe.GetManifestResourceNames();
string list = "";

// Build the string of resources.
foreach (string resource in resources)
    list += resource + "\r\n";

Then after filtering the resource names to get which ones you need (eg using LINQ or creating a new List and populating it in a foreach loop, etc.), use Assembly.GetManifestResourceStream to actually get the resource.

If you haven't added the files to the project, I strongly recommend doing so as it means you'll have fewer files to distribute if you release it. See MSDN: resource files for how to do this.

See my answer in this post:

Instead of fetching the resources by name you might use

var list = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetManifestResourceNames();

to obtain the resources and run a LINQ filter on them.
