    Public Shared Sub Main()

        ' Opens a resource reader and get an enumerator from it.
        Dim reader As New ResourceReader("myResources.resources")
        Dim en As IDictionaryEnumerator = reader.GetEnumerator()

        ' Goes through the enumerator, printing out the key and value pairs.
        While en.MoveNext()
            Console.WriteLine()
            Console.WriteLine("Name: {0}", en.Key)
