Name of embedded resource

If you're still having a bit of a hard time after trying @JustinDearing's answer, try this:

  1. set the verbosity of MSBuild to 'Detailed' in your V.S. options: Visual Studio > Tools > Options dialog

  2. Build your project

  3. Copy the output from the 'Build' log pane, paste into a text editor, search for 'manifest' enter image description here


The way to do this is quite simple, but you will have to edit the Visual Studio Project (csproj or vbproj) file in a text editor. See this MSDN blog post.

Here is the relevant XML snippet:

<ItemGroup>
  <EmbeddedResource Include="bar.resx">
      <LogicalName>notfoo.bar.resources</LogicalName>
  </EmbeddedResource>
</ItemGroup>
