How to view a resource file made with ResourceWriter()?

I have tested some code that generates a resource file:

// Creates a resource writer.
  IResourceWriter writer = new ResourceWriter("myResources.resources");

  // Adds resources to the resource writer.
  writer.AddResource("String 1", "First String");

  writer.AddResource("String 2", "Second String");

  writer.AddResource("String 3", "Third String");

  // Writes the resources to the file or stream, and closes it.
  writer.Close();

How can I view what is saved in the file? Is there any resource viewer that I can use?

Looks like you can use Resgen.exe which comes with Visual Studio Tools (after VS 2010).

Open up Developer Command Prompt and then you can convert your .resources file to a bunch of different file types, including .txt.

C:\>resgen myResources.resources myResources.txt

Will convert it into a .txt file.

With one caveat though;

Conversion to .txt fails if file contains non-string resources (including file links)
