string[] names = myAssembly.GetManifestResourceNames();
foreach (string name in names)

Answer 3

ahh - this from your first link was exactly what I was looking for

  public static List<string> GetImageList(Assembly assembly)
  {
   System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture = System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture;
   string resourceName = assembly.GetName().Name + ".g";
   System.Resources.ResourceManager rm = new System.Resources.ResourceManager(resourceName, assembly);
   System.Resources.ResourceSet resourceSet = rm.GetResourceSet(culture, true, true);
   List<string> resources  = new List<string>();
   foreach (DictionaryEntry resource in resourceSet)
   {
    resources.Add((string)resource.Key);
   }
   rm.ReleaseAllResources();
   return resources;
  }
