)

Visual Basic (Usage)

Dim fileName As String

Dim instance As New ResourceReader(fileName)

public ResourceReader(
    string fileName
)

Visual C++

public:
ResourceReader(
    String^ fileName
)

JScript

    fileName : String
)

Parameters

fileName: Type: System..::.String
The path of the resource file to be read.

Exception	Condition
ArgumentNullException	The fileName parameter is nullNothingnullptra null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).
FileNotFoundException	The file cannot be found.
IOException	An I/O error has occurred.
BadImageFormatException	The resource file has an invalid format. For example, the length of the file is zero.

Examples

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

        ' 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)
            Console.WriteLine("Value: {0}", en.Value)
