Resources File in .NET Standard (1.4) with New csproj

[dagrooms52]

I'm developing an application targeting .NET Standard 1.4, using the new csproj style (not project.json), and trying to get a localizable resources file to become available throughout the project.

I get compiler errors when including a resources file currently, similar to 'Resources' does not contain a definition for 'X'

The csproj automatically includes the resources file as follows:

    <ItemGroup>
        <Compile Update="Resources.Designer.cs">
            <DesignTime>True</DesignTime>
            <AutoGen>True</AutoGen>
            <DependentUpon>Resources.resx</DependentUpon>
        </Compile>
    </ItemGroup>

    <ItemGroup>
        <EmbeddedResource Update="Resources.resx">
            <Generator>ResXFileCodeGenerator</Generator>
            <LastGenOutput>Resources.Designer.cs</LastGenOutput>
        </EmbeddedResource>
    </ItemGroup>

Did it miss a step in the generation? Why can't I access any of the members of my resources file throughout the assembly?

@karelz we need to move this issue to msbuild. this is tooling issue and not really corefx. do you know the repo we can move this issue to?
