VB.NET Query Photoshop Actions & Action Sets

Is there a command in vb.net to get the entire list of Actions and Action Sets?

To run Photoshop actions from within Visual Studio you need to use the command appRef.DoAction("ActionName", "ActionSetName"). I would need to type out all the actions that I have currently loaded in Photoshop. I would like to query all the "Action Names" and "Action Set Names" that are currently loaded to avoid any fat fingering. Is there a quick and easy way to accomplish this. Even a simple function in Photoshop will work, essentially something to export the action panel to a txt or csv file.

Please give the script for action set and action alone from script event manager file. I cannot able to take the part of code to work. Actually I need a dialog box which should show the action and action set from pallet. With two buttons play and cancel. When I choose the action action set from drop down box it should play when I click on it. Please please give the exact full code to work. Thanks in advance

Look at code in Script Events Manager.jsx as part of your install. C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC 2017\Presets\Scripts or inside the app package on mac to Presets/Scripts. You will need to convert the AD code to VB syntax. GetActionSetInfo is the routine.
