I'm new to Visual Basic, and I'm having issues accessing the resource file for my project.

Dim rm As Resources.ResourceManager = New Resources.ResourceManager("MyProjectName.My.Resources.Resources", [Assembly].GetExecutingAssembly())
Dim myValue = rm.GetString(lookUpKey) 'boom Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

I think the issue is with the string "MyProjectName.My.Resources.Resources".

Would I be better off moving the strings into their own resource file?

vb.net winforms embedded-resource
