Question

In C#, the default behaviour of embedded resource name is like this:

<default namespace.><extended namespace.><filename>

Without changing the default namespace of the project, can I control the name of embedded resource?

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>
