Reading resources from an un-managed dll with C#

Question

I've written a command-line tool in C# which swaps out a resource in a .resources file for an alternative one. It uses ResourceReader and ResourceWriter.

I'd like to do the same thing for dll files, but I can't find a way of doing this. I tried using Reflection, but that only works on DLLs which are .net (managed) ones. Most of the dlls I'm using are built with other things.

I can't for the life of me figure out how to do this! Things like Resource Hacker do it, so it must be possible.

Can anyone help, please?

Thanks
