List all embedded resources in a folder

In my solution a had a folder with a few files. All this files have the Build Action "Embedded Resource".

With this code I can get a file:

assembly.GetManifestResourceStream(assembly.GetName().Name + ".Folder.File.txt");

But is there any way to get all *.txt files in this folder? A list of names or a method to iterate through them all?

You could check out

assembly.GetManifestResourceNames()

which returns an array of strings of all the resources contained. You could then filter that list to find all your *.txt files stored as embedded resources.

See MSDN docs for GetManifestResourceNames for details.
