Implements

For example, if the full name specified for type is "MyNameSpace.MyClasses" and name is "Net", this method overload searches for a resource named "MyNameSpace.Net".

Resource information is returned only if the resource is visible to the caller, or the caller has ReflectionPermission.

Note:
This method returns nullNothingnullptra null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic) if a private resource in another assembly is accessed and the caller does not have ReflectionPermission with the ReflectionPermissionFlag..::.MemberAccess flag.

If the assembly manifest lists a resource file, GetManifestResourceStream returns a Stream object even if the resource file cannot be found on disk at the time. If the resource file is not found, passing the resulting Stream object to the ResourceReader constructor causes an ArgumentException.

• ReflectionPermission 

  to access a private resource. Associated enumeration: ReflectionPermissionFlag..::.MemberAccess

• ReflectionPermission 

  when invoked late-bound through mechanisms such as Type..::.InvokeMember. Associated enumeration: ReflectionPermissionFlag..::.MemberAccess.
