How do I get resource file values in Visual Basic?

I thought it was something similar to:

my.Resource.whateverhere

Is that not the kind of resources you are looking for?

Try

 Global.<MyNamespace>.My.Resources.<ResourceStringName>

to access Resource Strings

Refer to the MSDN article Retrieving Resources with the ResourceManager Class for naming convetions:

Dim myManager As New _
   System.Resources.ResourceManager("ResourceNamespace.myResources", _
   myAssembly)

Try ResourceManager("MyProjectName.Resources", ...), otherwise if it's the application resources you can simply use My.Resources.HD (see here:My.Resources Object)

or

Open Reflector, load your assembly there, go to resources, a list of resources appears, search for the one containg 'HD', copy the name (it's like MyProjectName.Resources.resources), remove the last .resources and try with that.
