Getting String from Resource Files in .NET

using System.Resources;

        var assembly = typeof(Program).Assembly;
        ResourceManager resourceManager = new ResourceManager("update.Properties.Resources", assembly);
        var host = resourceManager.GetString("host");

You can retrieve a list of resource file names using typeof(Program).Assembly.GetManifestResourceNames(), where the default Resources.resx obtained is

update.Properties.Resources.resources
{Assembly}.{Directory}.{FileName}.resources

The ResourceManager only needs to fill in {Assembly}.{Directory}.{FileName}.
