Ajax Assembly Error - Assembly {0} does not contain a Web resource with name {1}

Question

I have an assembly that contains an embedded resource. However, when this assembly is accessed via the web, I get the following error:

Assembly 'MyAssembly, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' does not contain a Web resource with name 'MyAssembly.MyScript.js'.

Ironically enough, if I write an app that uses reflection to look at the resources, the name of the script file is 'MyAssembly.MyScript.js'.

Here's the stack:

[InvalidOperationException: Assembly 'MyAssembly, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' does not contain a Web resource with name 'MyAssembly.MyScript.js'.]
   System.Web.UI.WebResourceUtil.VerifyAssemblyContainsReleaseWebResource(Assembly assembly, String releaseResourceName) +614706

   System.Web.UI.Page.OnPreRenderComplete(EventArgs e) +11039454

Thanks in advance for any assistance!

Add this line of code to your AssemblyInfo.cs file

[assembly: System.Web.UI.WebResource("MyAssembly.MyScript.js", "text/javascript")]
