无法在共享项目中加载资源文件

Question

I have two project - shared project and wpf project. And there is a html file in shared project. I want to get stream of the file using below code.

var resourceName = String.Format("{0}.Map.html", this.GetType().Namespace);
Stream stream = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetManifestResourceStream(resourceName)

But It returns null always. I checked resource names with below code.

var names = System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetManifestResourceNames();

I can't see the html file from the list. I added the file with Add Existing Item Dialog. I'm not sure. What is wrong. Please help me. Thanks

I found the solution. select the resource file and in the property window change build action with embedded resource. It's working perfectly.
