How enumerate resources inside a resx file programmatically?

Using Visual Studio 2010

How can I enumerate all resources within in a specific resource file (.resx) that lies inside my assembly?

In my project I have a Resources.resx file with 3 text files (string resource). I need to enumerate these 3 files and then use their names to get their contents.

Found out:

Dim man As New ResourceManager("Discovery.Resources", Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly)
Dim resset As ResourceSet
resset = man.GetResourceSet(CultureInfo.CurrentCulture, True, True)
For Each item As DictionaryEntry In resset
    Console.WriteLine(item.Key)
Next

Use ResXResourceReader from System.Windows.Forms.

It Enumerates XML resource (.resx) files and streams, and reads the sequential resource name and value pairs

public static void Main()
{

  // Create a ResXResourceReader for the file items.resx.
  ResXResourceReader rsxr = new ResXResourceReader("items.resx");

  // 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();

}
