Reading String Resource from an external DLL

[Alain]

I would like to read string resources from Shell32.dll in my VB.NET project,
in VB 6 I would have use LoadResString to get it but I could not get to use
this function in VB.NET,
The documentation say that there is an equivalent in the
VisualBasic.Compatibility namespace but I can't find this namespace in VB
2005...

How could I use LoadResString or a better alternative to get resource
strings from a DLL.

Thanks!

'LoadResString' would not work with system DLLs in VB6 too.
