A lesson learnt...

Resource file names are case sensitive :-), in other words,

Dim stream As System.IO.Stream = _
     [Assembly].GetExecutingAssembly.GetManifestResourceStream("MarkItUp.RegexSnippets.Templates.xml")

Is 100% != to:

Dim stream As System.IO.Stream = _
    [Assembly].GetExecutingAssembly.GetManifestResourceStream("MarkItUp.RegexSnippets.templates.xml")

Lesson learnt :-)

I also came up with this expression to extract namespace and classname information from a text file:

Dim pattern As String = "^(?:\s)*?namespace(?:\s)*?\b(?'namespace'\w+(?:\.\w+)+?)(?:\s)*?\{(?:[\s\S]*?)class(?:\s)*?\b(?'classname'\w+)(?:\s)*?\{"

Dim m As Match = Regex.Match(codeSnippet, pattern, _
    RegexOptions.Multiline Xor RegexOptions.Singleline Xor RegexOptions.IgnoreCase)

If m.Success Then
    If m.Groups("namespace").Success Then
        nspace = m.Groups("namespace").Value
    End If
    If m.Groups("classname").Success Then
        classname = m.Groups("classname").Value
    End If
End If
