#1,108 – Use Reflector to Get List of Resources

You can use the third party .NET Reflector tool to get more information on the contents of a .NET (e.g. WPF) assembly.  .NET Reflector is available from Red Gate Software.  Included in the list of information displayed in Reflector is a full list of all resources embedded in the assembly.

To start with, you open the assembly within Reflector.  You do this by browsing to the .exe file containing the assembly.

Once you open the assembly, you can look at the contents, including any resources embedded within the assembly.  In the example below, we find the image ted.jpg in the images sub-folder.
