Why does my ScriptReference not find the embedded resource?

I have an AJAX management project that has a .js file that is configured as an embedded resource.

My main web application is referencing this project, and when I try to load the control, I get this error:

Assembly does not contain a Web resource with name 'MyFile.js'.

Here is my implementation of getScriptReferences:

  public IEnumerable GetScriptReferences ()
 {
     // create reference to the JS
     ScriptReference jsReference = new ScriptReference ();
     jsReference.Assembly = "MyNamespace";
     jsReference.Name = "MyNamespace.MyFile.js";

     return new ScriptReference [] {jsReference};
 }

I'm not quite sure what I am missing. I tried changing the Name parameter to just be the file name, namespace and file name, namespace, assembly and file name ... and I was out of luck. Any suggestions are welcome.

You must define the web resource in the code on the assembly containing the embedded resource. You usually do this in an AssemblyInfo.vb or .cs file.

 [assembly: System.Web.UI.WebResource( "MyNamespace.MyFile.js", "text/javascript", PerformSubstitution = true)]

See this article if you need more help.

Have you definitely added an entry for the Javascript file to your AssemblyInfo.cs? Something like:

 [assembly: WebResource("MyNamespace.MyFile.js", "text/javascript")]

Otherwise, the assembly will not allow access to the resource.
