With anything in the My namespace, you can right-click a term (such as blabla) and select Go to Definition. It will either show you the code behind the My namespace, or direct you to the object reference which will show the full class name.

In your case, you can rewrite this namespace to suit your purpose.

Namespace My.Resources

    '''<summary>
    '''  A strongly-typed resource class, for looking up localized strings, etc.
    '''</summary>
    <Global.System.CodeDom.Compiler.GeneratedCodeAttribute("System.Resources.Tools.StronglyTypedResourceBuilder", "4.0.0.0"), _
     Global.System.Diagnostics.DebuggerNonUserCodeAttribute(), _
     Global.System.Runtime.CompilerServices.CompilerGeneratedAttribute(), _
     Global.Microsoft.VisualBasic.HideModuleNameAttribute()> _
    Friend Module Resources

        Private resourceMan As Global.System.Resources.ResourceManager

        Private resourceCulture As Global.System.Globalization.CultureInfo

        '''<summary>
        '''  Returns the cached ResourceManager instance used by this class.
        '''</summary>
        <Global.System.ComponentModel.EditorBrowsableAttribute(Global.System.ComponentModel.EditorBrowsableState.Advanced)> _
        Friend ReadOnly Property ResourceManager() As Global.System.Resources.ResourceManager
            Get
                If Object.ReferenceEquals(resourceMan, Nothing) Then
                    Dim temp As Global.System.Resources.ResourceManager = New Global.System.Resources.ResourceManager("WindowsApplication1.Resources", GetType(Resources).Assembly)
                    resourceMan = temp
                End If
                Return resourceMan
            End Get
        End Property

        '''<summary>
        '''  Overrides the current thread's CurrentUICulture property for all
        '''  resource lookups using this strongly typed resource class.
        '''</summary>
        <Global.System.ComponentModel.EditorBrowsableAttribute(Global.System.ComponentModel.EditorBrowsableState.Advanced)> _
        Friend Property Culture() As Global.System.Globalization.CultureInfo
            Get
                Return resourceCulture
            End Get
            Set(value As Global.System.Globalization.CultureInfo)
                resourceCulture = Value
            End Set
        End Property

        '''<summary>
        '''  Looks up a localized string similar to Blah.
        '''</summary>
        Friend ReadOnly Property String1() As String
            Get
                Return ResourceManager.GetString("String1", resourceCulture)
            End Get
        End Property
    End Module
End Namespace
