I have included a resource in my Visual Studio 2005 solution that was a file on the hard drive. It is a text file, that contains text, and has a .htm extension.

I checked that BaseCodeGeneratorWithSite is supported in VS 2008 SDK 1.1. Since the MSDN page is from Nov. 2007 presumably in the 1.0 SDK too. There is a CodeProject article claiming that the class was "public in VS.NET 2002 and made internal in the VS.NET 2003". Contrary to other references on the MSDN the BaseCodeGeneratorWithSite d...
