Hi Mateusz,
If you want to have manifest resource names that match those generated by
VS.NET, you should avoid usign <resgen>.
Instead, you should use the <resources> element of the individual compiler
tasks and have the compiler task do the resource compilation (and generation
of the manifest resource names) for you.
In your case, your "build" target can be reduced to this (or something very
similar) :
<target name="build" description="Builds current configuration">
<echo message="Build Directory is ${build.dir}" />
<!-- prepare build directory -->
<mkdir dir="${build.dir}/bin" />
<!-- copy libraries -->
<copy todir="${build.dir}/bin">
<fileset basedir="lib">
<include name="*.dll" />
</fileset>
</copy>
<csc target="winexe" warnaserror="true" debug="${build.debug}"
output="${build.dir}/bin/${project.name}.exe" win32icon="App.ico">
<references basedir="${build.dir}">
<include name="System.dll" />
<include name="System.Data.dll" />
<include name="System.Drawing.dll" />
<include name="System.Windows.Forms.dll"/>
<include name="System.XML.dll" />
<include name="lib/*.dll" />
</references>
<sources basedir="src">
<include name="**/*.cs" />
</sources>
<resources basedir="src" prefix="<SET THIS TO THE DEFAULT
NAMESPACE OF THE C# PROJECT>" dynamicprefix="true">
<include name="**/*.resx" />
<include name="**/*.bmp" />
</resources>
</csc>
</target>
Note: you still need to replace the value of the prefix attribute of the
<resources> element with the "Default namespace" as set in your C# project.
Hope this helps,
Gert
PS. I added a note to the task docs on this, which should appear online when
I upload the next nightly build.
