Automatically adding MonoGame XNBs into an assembly as Embedded Resources
Raw
gistfile1.txt
Replace the "BeforeBuild" target in your csproj with the XML above.
"ExtraContent" is defined in MonoGame.Content.Builder.targets. It contains the paths
to all the XNB files that have just been built by the MonoGame Content Pipeline.
The "LogicalName" mess converts paths delimited by backslashes into paths
delimited by periods, suitable for use as embedded resource names.
The end result of this is that all your XNB files for this project
will be added to your output assembly as Embedded Resources.
Additionally, the XNB files will not be copied to the output directory
(you can remove lines 9 and 10 if you *do* want that to happen).

<!-- Include just-built XNB files as embedded resources in output assembly -->
<EmbeddedResource Include="@(ExtraContent)">

</EmbeddedResource>
<!-- Don't copy XNB files to output directory -->
