Is it possible to get a resource's comment using ResourceManager?

Question

I realize that this is essentially this question, but it's accepted answer just points to a link that doesn't seem to do what the asker requested (it doesn't start from ResourceManager/ResourceSet).

Is there any way to do this?

To get the resource content use:

            ResourceReader rr = new ResourceReader(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetManifestResourceStream("resourceName"););

            IDictionaryEnumerator e = rr.GetEnumerator();
            string resourceType;

            byte[] resourceData;
            while (e.MoveNext())
            {
                string keyName = (string)e.Key;

                rr.GetResourceData(keyName, out resourceType, out resourceData);
            }

When I run this, this only gives me ResourceTypeCode.String and the actual resource value. I don't get the resource comment. How do you get the comment? – ChaseMedallion Sep 17 '13 at 19:44

The only thing I could currently think of, is if your read the .resx file with an xml reader.

Is there a reliable way that you can find that file at runtime? – ChaseMedallion Aug 13 '14 at 20:03
Not sure what you mean? You could just iterate through all directories or something like that. – Remy Aug 14 '14 at 13:16
But when my DLL is deployed, I won't have my original directory structure, right? – ChaseMedallion Aug 14 '14 at 14:02

From this article : GetManifestResourceStream returns NULL

        string[] array = this.GetType().Assembly.GetManifestResourceNames();
        string[] array2 = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetManifestResourceNames();

Will help you to get resource name.

This returns the list of resource file names in the assembly, not the comments associated with resource keys in .resx files – ChaseMedallion Jul 26 '15 at 20:59
