When using ResXResourceReader to iterate through a ResX file with a ResXFileRef (given a relative path) the referenced file obviously cannot be found unless the application is running in a specific folder. Is there anyway to skip ResXFileRefs specifically while using ResXResourceReader? Or what alternative ways work? My application needs to specifically read strings only. So iterating through a ResX file as a normal Xml document is not ideal. Would using the ResourceManager class to get all the ResX files on runtime work with the relative paths in a ResXFileRef?
