Strings in resource files have a name, a value and a comment
The ResXResourceReader class gives me access to the name and the value.
Is there a way to read the comment?

You should be able to get Comment via ResXDataNode class: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.resources.resxdatanode.aspx

You will need to set UseResXDataNodes flag on the reader: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.resources.resxresourcereader.useresxdatanodes.aspx
