Public NotInheritable Class SPUserResourceCollection _
    Inherits SPBaseCollection
'Usage
Dim instance As SPUserResourceCollection
public sealed class SPUserResourceCollection : SPBaseCollection

Remarks

An object of this type is returned by the SPList.UserResources property and by the SPWeb.UserResources property. The collection contains SPUserResource objects that represent localizable user-defined resources such as the title of a list, the title of a column, the description of a Web site, the display name of a content type.

Examples

The following example is a console application that prints the names and values of user-defined resources in two collections. The first collection consists of resources associated with a Web site, and the second collection consists of resources for a list in the site. Note that the resource values that are printed are the values for the language of the current thread. Values for other languages may exist. For more information, see the SPUserResource class.
