silverlight - How to enumerate images included as "Content" in the XAP?

Question

I'm including a number of images as "Content" in my deployed XAP for Mango.

I'd like to enumerate these at runtime - is there any way to do this?

I've tried enumerating resources like:

foreach (string key in Application.Current.Resources.Keys)
{
    Debug.WriteLine("Resource:" + key);
}

But the images aren't included in the list. I've also tried using embedded resources instead - but that didn't help. I can read the streams using Application.GetResourceStream(uri) but obviously I need to know the names in order to do this.

This is no API baked in to WP7 that allows you to enumerate the contents of the Xap. You need to know the name of the content items before you can retreive them.

There probably is some code floating around somewhere that is able to sniff out the Zip catalog in the XAP however I would strongly recommend that you don't bother. Instead include some sensible resource such as an Xml file or ResourceDictionary that lists them.
