What does MissingManifestResourceException mean and how to fix it?

by

All I needed to do to fix this problem was to right-click the Resources.resx file in the Solution Explorer and click Run Custom Tool. This re-generates the auto-generated Resources.Designer.cs file.

If the .resx file was added to the project manually, the Custom Tool property of the file must be set to “ResXFileCodeGenerator”.

The problem is due to a mismatch of namespaces, which occurs if you change the “default namespace” of the assembly in the project settings. (I changed it from (previously) "Servers" to (now) "RT.Servers".)

In the auto-generated code in Resources.Designer.cs, there is the following code:

internal static global::System.Resources.ResourceManager ResourceManager {
    get {
        if (object.ReferenceEquals(resourceMan, null)) {
            global::System.Resources.ResourceManager temp = new global::System.Resources.ResourceManager("Servers.Resources", typeof(Resources).Assembly);
            resourceMan = temp;
        }
        return resourceMan;
    }
}

The literal string "Servers.Resources" had to be changed to "RT.Servers.Resources". I did this manually, but running the custom tool would have equally well done it.
