Find all embedded resources in another assembly

c#, embedded-resource, resources

Solution

You should use `GetManifestResourceNames` method from `Assembly` class (msdn):

string[] resourceNames = this.GetType().Assembly.GetManifestResourceNames();
foreach(string resourceName in resourceNames)
{
    Console.WriteLine(resourceName);
}

Problem

I'm working on localization for my project. For this, I have a class which should load an embedded resource from another assembly, and then read out the strings. But also I need to know which resource files this assembly contains. The number and which languages those are, is unknown. So how do I find out how the ".resx" file in this assembly is named? Those all have the same scheme: "de-DE.resx", "en-US.resx", and so on. I need to know how many of those files are contained in this assembly, and which languages they are. I know that the ResourceManager has access to them, thus it should be possible to access this information programatically too...
