[Mono-list] why is mono looking for this resource dll?

[Eric Slosser]

Maybe I should have mentioned that the resources were defined in FooText.resx.  Using Reflector, I discovered that the resources were embedded in the namespace Foo.SomeFolder.FooText.resources.

In VisStudio, I moved FooText.resx up one level, which fixes things.   

Seems like a bug in my code, I constructed rMgr with the wrong 1st parameter.  But this worked under .NET, and under installed-Mono, so maybe it's a Mono bug.  If someone closer to the innards wants a bug report, I'll write it up.

Make sure "Foo.FooText.resources" was correctly embedded or linked into assembly "Foo" at compile time, or that all the satellite assemblies required are loadable and fully signed. by mscorlib
