Question

Is it possible to list all files which was added to assembly and marked as a resource (not embedded).

I’ve tried GetManifestResourceNames method. It only works with embedded resources. But I need to be that files marked as a resource, in order to access that files by using uri like this pack://application:,,,/ApplicationName;component/Resources/logo.png

thanks

You can access it like this:

var image = new BitmapImage(new Uri("pack://application:,,,/ApplicationName;component/Resources/logo.png", UriKind.Absolute))

[EDIT]

And you can list all of them by calling this method:

public static string[] GetResourceNames()
{
    var asm = Assembly.GetEntryAssembly();
    string resName = asm.GetName().Name + ".g.resources";
    using (var stream = asm.GetManifestResourceStream(resName))
    using (var reader = new System.Resources.ResourceReader(stream))
    {
        return reader.Cast<DictionaryEntry>().Select(entry => (string)entry.Key).ToArray();
    }
}
