NAnt MissingManifestResourceException Tip
Tom 140 words
With NAnt 0.86 Beta 1, I found that I couldn’t use the
«/font>csc target="winexe" output="${bindir}\UvNotes.exe" debug="${debug}" win32icon="UvNotes.ico" >
«/font>resources>
«/font>include name="*.resx" />
</resources>
«/font>sources>
«/font>include name="*.cs" />
</sources>
</csc>
The program wouldn’t run, failing with a MissingManifestResourceException.
Initially I tried to do this:
«/font>resgen todir="${objdir}">
«/font>resources>
«/font>include name="*.resx" />
</resources>
</resgen>
«/font>csc target="winexe" output="${bindir}\UvNotes.exe" debug="${debug}" win32icon="UvNotes.ico" >
«/font>resources>
«/font>include name="${objdir}*.resources" />
</resources>
«/font>sources>
«/font>include name="*.cs" />
</sources>
</csc>
But that also failed because it was generating resource files named eg. “NoteForm.resources.”
To finally fix it, I ended up doing this:
«/font>resgen input="NoteForm.resx" output="${objdir}\UvNotes.NoteForm.resources" />
«/font>csc target="winexe" output="${bindir}\UvNotes.exe" debug="${debug}" win32icon="UvNotes.ico" >
«/font>resources>
«/font>include name="${objdir}*.resources" />
</resources>
«/font>sources>
«/font>include name="*.cs" />
</sources>
</csc>
That generated resource files named eg. “UvNotes.NoteForm.resources” which was apparently required for it to work properly.
