Read .resx file names from a referenced assembly

Question

I want to retrieve the available resource files from a folder on a referenced assembly. I can access the assembly and get the names like this:

System.Reflection.Assembly assembly = System.Reflection.Assembly.GetAssembly(typeof(AppResources));
string[] names = assembly.GetManifestResourceNames();

But this doesn't give me the names I need, which are AppResources.resx, AppResources.en-US.resx, etc. How can I read those names?

Thanks a lot

Answer 1

You will find AppResources.resx in GetManifestResourceNames as

NamespaceOfAppResources . AppResources . resources

language specific resources are not located in the main assembly.
