Description
From https://github.com/microsoft/msbuild/issues/2272#issuecomment-532264659
cc @rainersigwald
### Steps to reproduce
```
git clone https://github.com/PowerShell/PSScriptanalyzer
rm global.json # so that the latest version (3.0) of the SDK is used and not 2.2
cd Engine
dotnet build # should work
rm Strings.Designer.cs
dotnet build # does not work
```
### Expected behavior
Build works
### Actual behavior
Build fails due to errors resulting from Strings.Designer.cs not being created.
It seems one needs to apply the following non-intuitive changes to the `Engine.csproj`:
```diff
-
-
- True
- True
- Strings.resx
-
-
- ResXFileCodeGenerator
+ MSBuild:Compile
- Strings.Designer.cs
+ $(IntermediateOutputPath)\Strings.Designer.cs
+ CSharp
+ Microsoft.Windows.PowerShell.ScriptAnalyzer
+ Strings
+
+
+ PrepareResources;$(CompileDependsOn)
+
```
The `StronglyTypedNamespace` is due to the following in the csproj: `Microsoft.Windows.PowerShell.ScriptAnalyzer`
However, having to supply all the other additional parameters seems unintuitive. I'd like to see a minimal solution for a csproj that also works with VS btw.
### Environment data
`msbuild /version` output:
OS info:
Windows 10 1809
