Get all resources in array

Question

I have a VB.NET program with lots of embedded resources which are images. Is there a way to get all the resources in an array so I can acces them in a for loop?

I currently have to do it this way:

 images(1) = My.Resources.image1
 images(2) = My.Resources.image2
 '...
 images(80) = My.Resources.image80

Something like this perhaps:

Dim ResourceSet As Resources.ResourceSet = My.Resources.ResourceManager.GetResourceSet(Globalization.CultureInfo.CurrentCulture, True, True)
For Each Dict As DictionaryEntry In ResourceSet.OfType(Of Object)()
    If TypeOf (Dict.Value) Is Drawing.Image Then
        Debug.WriteLine(Dict.Key) 'outputting resource name
       (Do stuff here)
    End If
Next

It appears that the key is the name of the resource.

it says: System.ArgumentNullException was unhandled Message=Value cannot be null. Parameter name: source

Sorry, edited above after actually testing it. There has to be a better way than that OfType(of Object) but I can't seem to see it. Also, I had to change the parameters in the GetResourceSet based on the application I tested this in... so you may need to adjust those. msdn.microsoft.com/en-US/library/…
