[Mono-list] Problem Accessing Embedded Resource

[Jim Orcheson]

No answers from anyone, but I did do some additional debugging.

I added the following line before the call to GetManifestResourceStream:

string[] resources = assembly.GetManifestResourceNames();

resources did contain "QslBureaus.QslBureaus.xml", as the first string 
so I substituted resources[0] in the call to GetManifestResourceStream 
and the code worked. I then replaced resources[0] with 
"QslBureaus.QslBureaus.xml" and the code worked.

I had copied the code from a VS2010 solution on Windows. A similar 
problem also occurred with the other library in my solution, so it 
appears the problem has to do with moving the files from VS2010 on 
Windows to MonoDevelop on Linux.
