Get a list of all resources from an assembly

I have a folder with Resources and want to get a list with all paths.

enter image description here

If I set them to an embedded resource, I can get them via

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

When follwing this answer https://stackoverflow.com/a/1935035/6229375, I shouldn't use embedded resource anymore or I'm doing something wrong?

The question and the accepted solution are for "Resource" files, and in my cases I needed "Embedded Resource" files. For that, there is a built-in method: Assembly.GetManifestResourceNames

foreach(string resourceName in Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetManifestResourceNames())
{
    Console.WriteLine(resourceName);
}

From the following blog post:

Files marked with build action of “Resource” are added to a special resx file called ProjectName.g.resx. This file is generated during the build, it is not part of the project. You can access content of the ‘Resource’ files by creating an instance of ResourceManager and calling GetStream(filename). Additionally, in WPF applications you can access these resources via Application.GetResourceStream() in C# and via things like in XAML.

   var resourceManager = new ResourceManager("ConsoleApp5.g", Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly());
    var resources = resourceManager.GetResourceSet(CultureInfo.CurrentUICulture, true,
true);
    foreach (var res in resources)
    {
        System.Console.WriteLine(((DictionaryEntry)res).Key);
    }

where ((DictionaryEntry)res).Value will be Stream.
