Namespace:  System.Resources
Assembly:  mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration)
Public Sub New ( _
    stream As Stream _
)
Visual Basic (Usage)
Dim stream As Stream

Dim instance As New ResourceReader(stream)
C#
public ResourceReader(
    Stream stream
)
Visual C++
public:
ResourceReader(
    Stream^ stream
)
JScript
public function ResourceReader(
    stream : Stream
)

Parameters

stream
Type: System.IO..::.Stream
The input stream for reading resources.
Exceptions

ExceptionCondition
ArgumentException

The stream is not readable.

ArgumentNullException

The stream parameter is nullNothingnullptra null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).

IOException

An I/O error has occurred while accessing stream.

Examples

The following code example defines a new instance of the ResourceReader class that will read from the specified stream. The code then retrieves an enumerator, iterates through the stream, and prints key/value pairs to the console.

        ' Open a resource reader to read from the stream. 
        Dim reader = New ResourceReader(fs)

        ' Get an enumerator for the reader.
        Dim en As IDictionaryEnumerator = reader.GetEnumerator()

        ' Enumerate through the file, printing out the key/value pairs.
        While en.MoveNext()
