Description
_From @dsplaisted on May 10, 2017 18:48_
Adding a .resx file to an SDK project using Visual Studio results in the following added to the project file:
```xml
True
True
Resource1.resx
ResXFileCodeGenerator
Resource1.Designer.cs
```
Ideally, nothing would be added to the project file when you add a .resx to the project. We may be able to do this in the SDK just by setting the appropriate metadata on the implicit `EmbeddedResource` items and the `Compile` items for `.Designer.cs` files.
