How do I properly handle resources when emitting from a Roslyn workspace?

Question

I'm working on a project where we are compiling, emitting and running code using Roslyn. I've run into an issue where Roslyn does not embed resource files in the DLLs I emit using Compilation.Emit().

I see there is an argument of type IEnumerable<ResourceDescription> which I think I need to use.

Unfortunately, I can't find any information on resources in Project, so I'm not sure how to get the information I need.

Does Roslyn allow users to uncover any information about resource files? Or will I need to fall back to EnvDTE or using MSBuild manually? (If I need to use MSBuild, how do I support DNX projects?)

Answer 1

It looks like this information bypasses the project system, and is instead passed directly from the MSBuild loader to the command line arguments.
