title: How do I get resource file values in Visual Basic?
body: <p>I'm new to Visual Basic, and I'm having issues accessing the resource file for my project.</p>
  
  <pre><code>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.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I think the issue is with the string "MyProjectName.My.Resources.Resources".</p>
  
  <p>Would I be better off moving the strings into their own resource file?</p>
