Bryan,

Thanks for your response; however, I'm not sure we're on the same page
here. Let me try to present my problem more clearly:

Visual Studio/MSBuild uses a "dependency" scheme that can associate a
resource file with a given class. This mechanism is used, for instance,
to bind RESX files with their associated forms. Among other things,
this allows the environment to display the dependent resource files as
child nodes of the associated form classes. For example, to associate
the resource "Person.xml" resource with the file "Person.cs" one would
configure the MBBuild file thusly:

   <Compile Include="Person.cs"/>
   <EmbeddedResource Include="Person.xml">
     <DependentUpon>Person.cs</DependentUpon>
   </EmbeddedResource>

The compiler will embed the mapping resource with the name of the type
with which it is associated "Person" instead of the full name of the
file "Person.xml".

Is there a way to override this convention so that, for example, the
compiler will embed the Person.xml resource with the name "Person.xml"
instead of just "Person"?

Thanks,

Chris Moore
