The ResourceReader provides a default implementation of the IResourceReader interface.
You can use resource readers to read resource name and resource value pairs from .resources files. The resources can be enumerated by traversing the IDictionaryEnumerator returned by the GetEnumerator method. The methods provided by the IDictionaryEnumerator are used to advance to the next resource and read the name and value of each resource in the .resources file.
The following code sample displays the content of "myResources.resources" files on the console:
Imports System
Imports System.Resources
Imports System.Collections
Public Class ReadResources
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)
Console.WriteLine("Value: {0}", en.Value)
End While
reader.Close()
End Sub
End Class

// Opens a resource reader and gets an enumerator from it.
IResourceReader reader = new ResourceReader("myResources.resources");
IDictionaryEnumerator en = 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);
}
reader.Close();
}
