I need to be able to read the contents of satellite assembly when its location given along with its culture info. so, i cant add a reference to this assembly at compile time and i will not know the exact contents of this assembly(i will have to read the entire content). Is there a way to do it ?. like reflection . I have tried with resource manager but i think i cant read the whole satellite assembly content using that.

Something like below is it possible?

ResourceManager rm=new ResourceManager();
rm.BaseName="LocationProvidedAtRunTime";
ResourceSet rSet =rm.GetResourceSet("providedCultureInfo, true, true);
List<string> stringIds = new List<string>();
foreach (DictionaryEntry entry in rSet )
{
    stringIds .Add((string)entry .Key);
}

EDIT:

My requirement is like "Replacing/adding new strings to any satellite assembly when its location and culture info is given"

Thanks,

What are you trying to do? There may be a simpler way. – Bobson Feb 25 '13 at 18:56
@Bobson:i am writing a generic tool to update/add some strings in the satellite assembly... – user2063770 Feb 26 '13 at 00:57
This information of what strings are changed could be provided in a file – user2063770 Feb 26 '13 at 01:31
