resx resources get embedded with the wrong resource identifier if the project's default namespace differs from the project name

[oliverw]

The compiler currently embeds resx resources with the wrong resource identifier if the project's default namespace differs from the project name.

Scenario:

• Project Name: ConsoleApp1
• Default Namespace: ConsoleApp
• Resource Name: Resource.resx

Expected behavior:

The resource would be embedded as ConsoleApp.Resource.resources

Actual behavior:

The resource is embedded as ConsoleApp1.Resource.resources

This is especially bad as Designer.cs files generated from .resx resources use the correct identifier when instantiating the resource manager resulting in MissingManifestResourceExceptions thrown at runtime when accessing any of the generated properties.

Should be fixed in our upcoming RC2 release

This is not fixed yet (preview 2). The workaround with "namedResource" isn't usable when you have hundreds of embedded resource files.

@sayedihashimi It's not fixed. please reevaluate the issue.
